Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker addressed supporters Tuesday night, following the Republican incumbent’s victory in the state recall election.
“Wow. What a crowd,” Walker told the cheering crowd. “First of all, first of all I want to thank God for His abundant grace. Next, I particularly want to thank not only all of you here, but people all across the state. I want to thank you for your prayers.
“Because for the last year and a half, the thing that has sustained Tonette and I and Matt and Alex so much is — not just at campaign events, but literally at factories and farms and small businesses — just about everyday over the past year and a half, I’ve met people at every one of those stops. And what has sustained us is many times people I’ve never met before come off the line, and come off of the farms, and say, ‘Governor, we’re praying for your and your family.’ I can’t tell you what that means to me.”
