Acknowledging the nature of political discourse, he remained unperturbed by the sneering campaign, expressing confidence in the discernment of the delegates.
“They call it politics, but I believe the delegates are more discerning, and I don’t have a problem with sneering campaigns.”

He highlighted the considerable effort and sacrifice he made, flying back from Amsterdam, making campaign donations, and actively participating in the campaign.
