Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.
I am the president of all Americans, including those who did not vote for me. I have to consider what’s best for them, even the ones who don’t like me.
