Clinton’s Appeal to Voters
While campaigning for Harris, Clinton urged voters not to overlook those with opposing views, criticizing Donald Trump for fostering division among Americans.
“I don’t want you to talk down to them,” Clinton said, while expressing his concern over the decline of local news and the dominance of outlets like Fox News.
Research from Northwestern University reveals that over half of the nation’s counties have either no or only one newspaper.
Clinton argued that this decline in local news has led to “groupthink,” but also noted that Americans of different political beliefs still share much in common.
Election Stakes for America
Clinton emphasized that the crowd and the nation have a lot at stake in the election’s outcome.
Recently, Trump issued threats, describing other Americans as “the enemy within” including Congressman Adam Schiff, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and “radical left lunatics.”
“I guess Hillary and I made the list,” Clinton quipped, but quickly emphasized that Trump’s threats need to be taken seriously.
Looking ahead, Clinton expressed concern for his grandchildren’s future in America.
