“Today, Americans are tired. Tired of Democrats and Republicans fighting with one another. Tired of the division that this capital sometimes represents. Because Republicans and Democrats alike are struggling to afford housing, utilities, groceries, education, health care and the basic necessities of life. That struggle belongs to all Americans. For generations, the American dream has made this country a beacon to the world because of one powerful promise. Your past does not determine your future.” (03:48–03:59)
