Introduction as Vice Presidential Candidate - Aug. 12, 2020
August 12, 2020
Thank you, Joe. Thank you, Joe. As I said Joe, when you called me, “I am incredibly honored by this responsibility, and I'm ready to get to work.” I am ready to get to work. After the most competitive primary in history, the country received a resounding message that Joe was the person to lead us forward. And Joe I'm so proud to stand with you, and I do so mindful of all the heroic and ambitious women before me; whose sacrifice, determination, and resilience makes my presence here today […]

Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 18, 2020
August 18, 2020
I have always loved the sounds of a classroom. The quiet that sparks with possibility just before students shuffle in. The murmur of ideas bouncing back and forth as we explore the world together. The laughter and tiny moments of surprise you find in materials you’ve taught a million times. When I taught English here at Brandywine High School, I would spend my summer preparing for the school year about to start—filled with anticipation. But this quiet is heavy. You can hear the anxiety that echoes down empty hallways. There’s […]

Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 25, 2020
August 25, 2020
Good evening, it seems like just yesterday that we were at our first convention, where my husband accepted the Republican nomination and then became our 45th president of the United States. He had the energy and enthusiasm for who should lead this nation. It's real today as it was four years ago. I know I speak for my husband and the entire family when I say we have not forgotten the incredible people who were willing to take a chance on the businessman who has never worked in politics. We […]

Good evening. Before I begin, I want to send a special message to everyone who's been affected by Hurricane Laura. Our hearts are with you, the President will continue to support you every step of the way and just like Americans always do, the nation will come together to help you rebuild your homes, businesses, and communities stronger and more resilient than ever before. Four years ago, I introduced to you a builder, an entrepreneur, an outsider, and the people's nominee for President of the United States. Tonight, I stand […]

Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 19, 2020
August 19, 2020
Good evening. As speaker of House, it is my honor to bring you the greetings of House Democrats; the most diverse majority in history, more than 60% women, people of color, and LGBTQ. Our diversity is our strength, our unity is our power. This month, as America marks the centennial of women finally winning the right to vote, we do so with 105 women in the house, proudly, 90 are democrats. To win the vote women marched and fought and never gave in. We stand on their shoulder charged with […]

Democratic National Convention Remarks - Aug. 20, 2020
August 20, 2020
Good evening, I'm Tammy Duckworth. When I first enlisted in the Army, I was eager to serve my country yet anxious whether I'd be able to earn my way into the ranks. But I earned my wings and later commanded my own air assault unit, learning that serving and leading in the military is both a privilege and a sacrifice. To be a commander you must always put your troops first because one day you may order them to sacrifice everything for our great nation. To do that leaders must […]

Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 20, 2020
August 20, 2020
Hi, I'm senator Tammy Baldwin. When I was nine years old, I got sick, really sick. I was hospitalized, but since my grandparents were the ones raising me and our family's health plan didn’t cover grandkids, they were forced to pay out of pocket for my three-month hospital stay. I got better, but the insurance companies didn’t. They refused to cover me at any cost because I was marked “child with a pre-existing condition.” We all have stories like this, stories about a time when the system was rigged against […]

Vice Presidential Nomination Acceptance Democratic National Convention Speech - Aug. 19, 2020
August 19, 2020
Greetings, America. It is truly an honor to be speaking with you tonight. That I am here tonight is a testament to the dedication of generations before me. Women and men who believed so fiercely in the promise of equality, liberty and justice for all. This week marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment and we celebrate the women who fought for that right. Yet so many of the Black women, who helped secure that victory, were still prohibited from voting long after its ratification. But […]

Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 26, 2020
August 26, 2020
I'm Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and I am honored to represent New York's 21st congressional district, the cradle of the American Revolution. It's where, almost 250 years ago, brave patriots fought in the battles of Saratoga to turn the tide of the Revolutionary War. It's where 40 years ago, in Lake Placid a team of amateur hockey players outhustled, outskated, and defeated the Soviet Union, stunning the world and giving us the unforgettable miracle on ice. And today it's home to Fort Drum and the historic 10th Mountain Division, the most […]

Republican National Committee Speech - Aug. 26, 2020
August 26, 2020
Hi, I’m U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee. America is a nation of heroes; in times of difficulty we’re reminded that they're all around us. They're in the line with us at the grocery store, in the pew with us at church. They're the regular Americans who step up to volunteer and serve when we need them most. They've stood at the forefront throughout this pandemic. The emergency room nurses who go back shift after shift, the medical researchers developing a vaccine and therapies to combat what the Chinese communist […]
