Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 27, 2016
July 27, 2016
I am Congresswoman Judy Chu from California, and I am proud to be the first Chinese-American woman ever elected to Congress! Standing with me are my fellow Asian-American and Pacific Islander—or AAPI—Members of Congress. Many of them, too, are trailblazers in their own right. And we are all proud to support Hillary Clinton for President of the United States! It wasn't too long ago that if you saw an Asian Pacific American walking in the U.S. Capitol, you had to stop and do a double-take. But how things have changed. […]

Remarks at the 2016 Democratic National Convention - July 28, 2016
July 28, 2016
Thank you. It is such an honor for me to be here tonight. I'm here as a proud American… a proud Democrat... a proud mother... and tonight in particular, a very, very proud daughter. Marc and I almost can't quite believe it, but our daughter, Charlotte, is nearly two years old. She loves Elmo... she loves blueberries... and above all, she loves Facetiming with Grandma. My mom can be about to walk on stage for a debate or a speech. It just doesn't matter. She'll drop everything for a few […]

Remarks at the 2016 Republican National Convention - July 21, 2016
July 21, 2016
Well, hello there, Tennessee! And hello to everybody here tonight. And to all of you who are watching us at home on iPhones and on Twitter, welcome! I have a question for you. Do you—do you—want to help make America one again? Let me hear you! Alright! You know, we have all had enough of bloated budgets, unkept promises and pointless red lines. We've had enough division and enough heated rhetoric that serves to only drive a wedge between us and our neighbor. Enough of seeing our 401k's get smaller, […]

Remarks at the 2016 Republican National Convention - July 21, 2016
July 21, 2016
Thank you. All right America, I have a question. Are you ready for change? Me, too. All right. I grew up in Tecumseh, a small town in Oklahoma. It was one of those all-American towns where everyone watches high school football on Friday nights, and neighbors take care of neighbors. In Tecumseh, we understood poverty. But it wasn't a destiny that was inevitable. We were optimistic about our future, and knew we could succeed with hard work, a good education and faith in God. There weren't very many opportunities for […]

Remarks at the 2016 Republican National Convention - July 19, 2016
July 19, 2016
Let me start out with a question. Are there any mountaineers in the audience tonight? m Shelley Moore Capito, the first woman ever elected to serve the state of West Virginia in the United States Senate. Ladies and gentlemen, we face challenging times, times in which we as leaders must ask: How can we secure a future that's brighter for our next generation? That's always the challenge of leadership, and this election is no different. But with every challenge comes great opportunity and that opportunity is what I would like […]

Thank you all very, very much. Please be seated. It is wonderful being back here.

And I'm delighted to have this opportunity to talk with you about the state of our country today. Nearly 160 years ago, Abraham Lincoln gave a speech in this state house that marked […]

July 25, 2016
Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president. Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House? I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world. […]

Thank you, Joe, and thank you to Massachusetts for the great honor of serving as your Senator. Wow! What a night. Michelle Obama. Cory Booker. And we still have Bernie coming up. Bernie reminds us what Democrats fight for every day! Thank you, Bernie! Thank you. Now, we are here tonight because America faces a choice, the choice of a new president. On one side is a man who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it going by cheating people and skipping out on debts. A man who […]

Thanks for bringing Marc into our family, and Charlotte and Aidan into the world. And Bill, that conversation we started in the law library 45 years ago—it is still going strong. You know, that conversation has lasted through good times that filled us with joy, and hard times that tested us. And I've […]
