00:00Now I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it
00:09But we must accept the results of this election
00:13Earlier today. I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him
00:22that we will help him and his team with their transition and
00:26That we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power
00:37A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election we accept the results
00:45That principle as much as any other
00:48distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny and
00:54Anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it at the same time in
01:01our nation
01:03we owe
01:05Loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution of the United States
01:17And loyalty to our conscience and to our God
01:22My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say
01:29While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign
01:43The fight
01:44the fight for freedom
01:47for opportunity
01:49for fairness and the dignity of all people a
01:53fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation
01:59the ideals that reflect America at our best
02:04That is a fight. I will never give up
