Writing for his mother-in-law Maria Shriver’s website, The Sunday Paper, Pratt addressed the results and said, “I’ve been thinking a lot about where we’ll be as a nation on November 6th, how we can attempt to move forward after so much division, and how some of the lessons that sports teach us may be just what all of us need as we chart a course forward.”

Drawing a parallel with sporting victories and losses, Pratt continued, “I feel as though we live in a time now when so many people have yet to learn that lesson. Sometimes your team doesn’t win. The 2024 presidential election is three days away as I write this. The biggest game of all time approaches. Team Red versus Team Blue. A rematch for the ages. A showdown four years in the making.”

Addressing the supporters of both Trump and Harris, Pratt advised them to be measured in their reactions. “It’s OK to take a moment to lick your wounds when you lose,” he said. “Heck, go ahead and cry in the mirror. But if we become too paralyzed by defeat or too pompous in victory, allegiance to our ‘team’ can blind us to the fact that we are fellow countrymen.”
