America is a great nation. You should love it, and you should fight for it in the founding ideals that government, that our rights fundamentally belong to us, not to government. And it's on all of us to make this country a better place. Always fight for those values, loving Ohio, loving America, and loving your neighbors yourself. More kindness to each other would make the world a better place. I think it's important to win with humility and gratitude and lose with grace and dignity. I honor the decision of the voters and I congratulate Sherrod Brown and all of those who won elections tonight in Ohio. I wish you great success. I love this state, no matter whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, I want you to succeed.
