Clinton praised the ability to gather in person after two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, but she warned that the country is still too divided.

Most of her speech focused on touting Democratic values and arguing that Hochul and her running-mate, Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, were the best choices to champion them. Hochul would be New York’s first women elected as governor.
“She is a governor for all of us,” Clinton said.
“And by the way, isn’t it about time that the state that gave birth to the women’s suffrage movement, the state that has always been at the forefront of progress and reform, isn’t it about time we elect a woman as our governor?”
