. . . And here is one pledge I most solemnly make to you, my fellow Americans:
If my opponent wins this election, I will do what 57 out of 58 previous losing presidential candidates did: I will accept the result, concede as graciously as I can, and congratulate the winner.
I will not lie about the vote, whining with phony claims of fraud.
I will not try to intimidate local election workers, or make phone calls demanding they “find” me additional votes I didn’t actually receive.
I will not deploy slates of fake presidential electors.
I will not attack public officials who won’t knuckle under and cooperate with such unlawful machinations.
And I will not try to overthrow our democracy by inciting a mob to violently storm the capitol.
