I am a very committed person when it comes to finding common ground.

What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.

I'm going to use the White House and every tool at my disposal as your president to make the case that patriotism is profitable.

I think I'm chronically exhausted.

I'm a progressive who likes to get things done.

Keeping them behind bars does little to reduce crime, but it does a lot to tear apart families, our prisons and our jails are now our mental health institutions.

I don't want [to work] people who agree with me. I want honest, spirited, hard-working, patriotic people who want to be part of a team, the American team.
