thank you all so much. Thank you all so much for being here. I just want to start by thanking South Carolina. You know, we made history last night, electing our first female senator, something that I'm incredibly proud of, our nation's first pediatrician senator. Yay! And I think the story here is about the Republicans, Democrats, and independents who came together to put South Carolina first. And the speeches I was giving the past couple of weeks, that's what I was saying. A victory on election night was not a victory for me. It's a victory for the state of South Carolina. When we decided to work together, to move forward together to elect someone who was going to put South Carolina first. And I just couldn't be more proud to be standing here before you all today.
