You know, Reverend Alice deeply concerning that Trump seems to be doubling down on division, but I'm going to reach out to people across his country, leaders like you who know Trump, leaders who've had to work with him in their capacity as senators, governors, Congress people and determine what our best pathway is to be able to deal with this administration. I don't know what that will be. I don't know if one can be found. But I know anything that delivers for the people of Georgia, I'm willing to have the conversation. And those things that we have to fight about and fight it out in the courts and take a stance on, then I'm more than prepared to do that in the same way I did under the first administration.
