Kaine Wraps up Pennsylvania Campaign Swing in Bethlehem

Today, Tim Kaine wrapped up a two day campaign tour in Pennsylvania. His first stop was lunch at the Hispanic Center of the Lehigh Valley. He helped serve meals to senior clients, speaking to many of them in Spanish. He briefly spoke about Donald Trump’s visit with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and his divisive language on immigration.

Kaine then spoke at a public rally in Bethlehem where he focused on jobs and Hillary Clinton’s plans to improve the country’s infrastructure. Kaine also attacked Trump for failing to release his tax returns and his lack of a clear policy. He said, “We’ve been out talking about jobs, while Donald Trump has been talking about, you know, ridiculing the Virginia family whose child was killed in action defending his friends, or fighting with this or that Republican leader he will or will not endorse, or talking about the walls he’ll build or the alliances he’ll shred. We’ve been out talking about jobs, we’ve been talking about how you grow an economy that works for everybody.” A video from the event is below.

Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, a fundraiser was held featuring a conversation with former Secretary of State Dr. Madeleine K. Albright. Also attending the event was Max Weinberg, drummer for the E Street Band and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Hillary Clinton Calls for Unity in Illinois Speech

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the Old State Capital in Springfield, Illinois. Speaking at the same venue as President Abraham Lincoln, Clinton gave a speech reminiscent of his “House Divided” speech in 1858. Clinton quotes Lincoln’s speech a number of time as she spoke about race and called for unity. “The challenges we face today do not approach those of Lincoln’s time, not even close, and we should be clear about that. But recent events across America have left people asking if we are still a house divided,” she said.

Clinton attacked Republican Donald Trump for turning the “Party of Lincoln” into the “Party of Trump.” She referred to Trump’s comments against Muslims, Mexicans, and women as an example of how Trump is a divisive figure. She said, “We need a president who can pull us together, not split us apart.” Clinton went on to say that “despite our best efforts and highest hopes, America’s long struggle with race is far from finished.” But if we work toward bridging the divides in the country, we will remain, in Lincoln’s words, “the last best hope on Earth.” A video of Clinton’s speech is below and a transcript can be read HERE.

Across the country fundraisers were held on behalf of Hillary for America. In St. Louis, Missouri, Clinton attended a fundraiser following her speech in Illinois. Senior Policy Advisor Jake Sullivan and Domestic Policy Advisor Sara Solow attended a lunch fundraiser in Menlo Park, California. Also in California, Trevor Houser spoke at a clean energy roundtable discussion that was hosted by Mike Levin and Michael Swords. Finally, in New York City, De’Ara Balenger attended a fundraiser hosted by Phil Mahla and Neil Printz, and Mary Delaney Penick and David Penick.

Bill and Chelsea Campaign on the West Coast

On Tuesday, Bill and Chelsea Clinton campaigned for Hillary Clinton on the West Coast. In Washington, Chelsea made two stops in Tacoma where she spoke about her mother’s experience and leadership. During her first stop at Bates Technical College, she also spoke about the progress made by President Barack Obama and how important it is for a Democrat to succeed him in the White House. At both events, she urged voters to support Hillary in Saturday’s caucus saying, “I’m going to keep talking to as many people as I can here in Washington in advance of Saturday, but really around the country about what’s at stake and why standing on the sidelines is just not an option.” Videos from today’s events will be added when/if available.

While in Washington, Chelsea attended a lunch fundraiser in Seattle. The event took place at the home of Linda Derschang and was hosted by Derschang, Makini Howell, Tamara Murphy and Linda Morton, Molly Moon Neitzel, Angela and Ethan Stowell, and Washington Entrepreneurs for Hillary.

Bill meanwhile attended two fundraisers in California. The first was in Santa Barbara and was hosed by Susan Rose and Allan Ghitterman. The second event of the day was La Cañada Flintridge.
