Former MLB star has a message for those who said they would leave the US if Trump won the election

Roger Clemens has a message for everyone who said or posted that they would leave the country if and when Donald Trump wins the 2024 election.

“Who ever said, ‘I’ll leave America if Trump wins’ … don’t let the door bump into you on the way out,” the former Major League Baseball pitcher posted on “X,” the social media platform formerly known as like Twitter.

He added: “This is huge for our great country!” Clemson, who pitched for the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox, added that he was “most proud of the people. We did it!”

Clemens, a seven-time Cy-Young award winner, lives in Houston.

Trump, meanwhile, spent his first day as president-elect receiving congratulatory phone calls from his defeated opponent, world leaders and President Joe Biden as he began the process of turning his election victory into a government.

Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump to concede the race and congratulate him, while Biden invited the man he ousted from the White House four years ago to an Oval Office meeting to prepare for handing back the keys .

The White House announced that Biden had spoken with the newly elected president and expressed his commitment to a smooth transition, while emphasizing the importance of working to bring the country closer together.

Biden also called Harris to greet her for her campaign. And Trump and Harris spoke on a call in which the president-elect “recognized Vice President Harris for her strength, professionalism and tenacity throughout the campaign, and both leaders agreed on the importance of unifying the country,” according to Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.
