Trump read the letter at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on Monday night. Here’s what Trump read from Belichick’s letter:

“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have dealt with an unbelievable slanted and negative media, and have come out beautifully – beautifully. You’ve proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully tomorrow’s election results will give the opportunity to make America great again. Best wishes for great results tomorrow. Bill”

Trump also said he received a phone call from Tom Brady, who said he’d voted for Trump. According to Trump, Brady also said Trump could announce Brady’s vote on Monday. Brady said Monday morning, however, that he would not reveal his vote until after the election. In an Instagram post on Friday, Brady’s wife Gisele also said he and Brady would not back Trump.
