Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 24, 2020
August 24, 2020
Good evening. I’m Nikki Haley and it's great to be back at the Republican National Convention. I’ll start with a little story, it’s about an American Ambassador to the United Nations and it's about a speech she gave to this Convention. She called for the re-election of the Republican president she served and she called out his Democratic opponent — a former vice president from a failed administration. That ambassador said and I quote, “Democrats always blame America first.” The year was 1984. The president was Ronald Reagan and Ambassador […]

Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 26, 2020
August 26, 2020
Good evening! I'm Karen Pence. My husband is Vice President Mike Pence. 100 years ago, today, the 19th Amendment was adopted into the US Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Because of heroes like Susan B. Anthony and Lucy Stone, women today, like our daughters, Audrey and Charlotte, and future generations, will have their voices heard and their votes count. The women's suffrage movement was the gateway that led to women having the opportunities to achieve monumental milestones and accomplish significant achievements in both civic and governmental roles. This […]

Republican National Committee Remarks - Aug. 26, 2020
August 26, 2020
Good evening, I'm Kellyanne Conway. 100 years ago, courageous warriors helped women secure the right to vote. This has been a century worth celebrating but also a reminder that our democracy is young and fragile. A woman in a leadership role can still seem novel, not so for President Trump. For decades he has elevated women to senior positions in business and in government. He confides in and consults us, respects our opinions, and insists that we are on equal footing with the men. President Trump helped me shatter a […]

Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 25, 2020
August 25, 2020
I'm Kim Reynolds, governor of the great state of Iowa. I love this state and am so proud to serve its people. Iowa truly is a land of opportunity. It's the birthplace of the computer; it’s a landmark of the financial-services industry. And as so many of you already know, it’s filled with farmland that feeds and fuels the world. It's also home to people who care for one another, who work hard, who love this country and are truly grateful for the freedoms it provides. As I like to […]

Republican National Committee RNC Remarks - Aug. 26, 2020
August 26, 2020
Hello everyone and thank you for inviting me into your home this evening. It’s truly a privilege. My name is Joni Ernst. I was raised on a small family farm here in Iowa, where I learned the importance of faith, hard work and service. I worked my way through college, then dedicated my life to serving my country, as a local official, a battalion commander in the military, and as a U.S. Senator. Service… it’s more than a word to me – it’s a mission. A way of life. It’s […]

2020 Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 20, 2020
August 20, 2020
Good evening. I'm Keisha Lance Bottoms, a mother of four and Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia — cradle of the Civil Rights Movement and like so many other cities, a place where the struggle for human dignity continues. I'm proud to have grown up in this city, educated in its public schools and blessed to have known our hometown heroes like Dr. Joseph Lowry, Dr. C.T. Vivian and our teacher, our friend, our conscience, our congressman, John Lewis. He walked gently amongst us, not as a distant icon but as a […]

Remarks at the 2020 Democratic National Convention - Aug. 19, 2020
August 19, 2020
I've known the darkest of days. Days of pain and uncertain recovery. But confronted by despair, I've summoned hope. Confronted by paralysis anesthesia, I responded with grit and determination. I put one foot in front of the other, I found one word and then I found another. My recovery is a daily fight but fighting makes me stronger. Words once came easily, today I struggle to speak but I have not lost my voice. America needs all of us to speak out, even when you have to fight to find […]

Good evening, America. I’m Michelle Lujan Grisham, governor of the great state of Nuevo Mexico. I'm proud of my home state every single day, especially how we have punched above our weight in our successful response to COVID-19. I'm proud of New Mexicans from Taos to Truth or Consequences who have stepped up and sacrificed in so many incredible ways this past half year. And I'm proud how we embrace our multicultural identity as our greatest strength. And I'm proud that New Mexico has shown what climate leadership looks like. […]

2020 Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 19, 2020
August 19, 2020
The morning after the last election, I said, “We owe Donald Trump an open mind and the chance to lead” — I meant it, every president deserves that. And Trump came in with so much set up for him; a strong economy, plans for managing crises — including a pandemic. Yes, we democrats would have disagreed with him on many things, but if he had put his own interests and ego aside, seeing the humanity in a child ripped from her parents at the border or a protester calling for […]

2020 Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 19, 2020
August 19, 2020
Tonight, we've heard from the people who make America work. People who put their lives on the line to keep our country going and since COVID-19 hit, they've taken one gut punch after another and what is the COVID fallout done to our babies? Well, I'm here at the early childhood education center in Springfield, Massachusetts which has been closed for months. Childcare was already hard to find before the pandemic and now parents are stuck, no idea when schools can safely reopen and even fewer childcare options. The devastation […]
