00:00Can you talk a little bit more about how he's feeling
00:03after making such an extraordinary decision,
00:05like you said, and making it quickly?
00:08Did he feel bullied to leave the race?
00:10I'm going to let the President speak for himself.
00:13Look, these are — I mean, obviously it's a historic moment,
00:19but a decision like this is very personal.
00:22It's not easy to make.
00:25And I think there are very rare, rare politicians
00:29who could look at the situation and make a decision, right?
00:34And I think it speaks to how honorable this President is,
00:39how selfless this President is,
00:42that he was able to make this decision and say,
00:45it is not about me, it is about the American people,
00:48it is about the country,
00:50and make, again, a personal, difficult decision.
00:55And so I think that speaks for itself.
00:58I really do. I think that speaks for itself.
01:00And in the letter, as you all know,
01:01he said that he wanted to address the American people,
01:04was going to give remarks about his decision,
01:07and now we've come to that day
01:09where he's going to speak directly to the American people
01:12later tonight, and he's going to lay out
01:14what it is that he wants to say,
01:15what he believes the American people
01:17want to hear directly from him.
