Senator Sanders, Chelsea Clinton Campaign in the West

Senator Bernie Sanders campaigned on behalf of Hillary Clinton and local Democrats today in Reno, Nevada. During his speech, Sanders spoke about the importance of electing Clinton and rejecting the divisive rhetoric of Republican Donald Trump. He also spoke about the importance of voting local Democrats into office, especially the United States House and Senate. Sanders went after Trump on several occasions saying, “If we are going to take our country forward in a way that I think all of us know that we have to go, it is absolutely imperative that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States. I think that it is fair to say that based on character, based on policy there has never been in the modern history of this country or maybe the entire history of this country, a candidate less deserving of being elected than Donald Trump.” A video from the event will be posted when/if available.

In Tempe, Arizona, Chelsea Clinton campaigned on behalf of her mother on the campus of Arizona State University. She outlined Hillary’s experience working with foreign leaders and her history of bipartisanship as a Senator and Secretary of State. Chelsea spoke of the importance of compromise and rejected Trump’s vision of America saying, “There can be no common ground with bigotry. But we have to compromise where we can. I think we need that type of leadership.” She concluded by talking about the importance of voting on November 8th citing the close polls between Hillary and Trump in the typically Republican stronghold of Arizona. Watch a video of Chelsea’s speech below.

Meanwhile, two debate night fundraisers were held on behalf of Hillary for America. The first was in New York City and featured former Mayor David N. Dinkins and Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan. The second event was held in Newton, Massachusetts and was hosted by the Jewish Community for Hillary.

Sedona Forum

Saturday, April 26, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared at the McCain Institute sponsored Sedona Forum on the campus of Arizona State University. Clinton took part in the forum “Global Crisis and American Leadership” with Senator John McCain.  The two spoke at length about the current situation in Ukraine and our current relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Clinton and McCain also discussed free press, the Middle East, and Benghazi before fielding questions from the audience.  A few weeks ago, Clinton denounced the current political climate and lack bipartisan compromise. This proves that it is possible for Democrats and Republicans to have a serious conversation.

In addition to the full event, the McCain Institute also posted a short video in which Clinton shares her views on leadership. This video is below:

For the final event of Clinton Global Initiative University, Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton all took to the stage and answered questions from the students in the crowd and moderator Jimmy Kimmel. The Clintons answered a wide variety of questions, but the inevitable was asked of Hillary Clinton. A student asked, “If you don’t represent women in politics in America as future president, who will?” Clinton said that she has not yet made a decision about 2016, but she did say that she was concerned about the current direction of the county, and that deciding to run is something she is not taking lightly.
