America is facing a lot of challenges, but i believe with all my heart we can rise to meet them. You see, i believe in the potential of every american to solve the toughest problems, to be resilient, no matter what they throw at us. I am deeply grateful for this country and for all of you. If we can break through the barriers that hold people back. If we can unleash the talent and potential of our people, there are no limits to what america can in chief can achieve. So again, imagine with me an america where your wages match your hard work, where communities are thriving again, where there is Quality Affordable Health Care and childcare is available to every family. We can build that country. We can make our tomorrows greater than all our yesterdays. Im fighting for the millions of people who cant wait. I fighting for our families and our future. I am fighting for the america i know we can build together. And for each and everyone of you. Thank you all so very much. Thank you. God bles
