Hillary Clinton Monday will launch the general election campaign with a speech in Cleveland, Ohio — site of the July GOP convention — where she will tout herself as the candidate of unity, contrasting her approach with what Democrats, and even a sizable number of Republicans, say is the divisiveness of Donald Trump.
“Clinton’s speech on Monday in Ohio will define the choice that voters face in this election and outline her vision of an America that is stronger together,” said a statement released by a Clinton aide. “As she has long said, it really does take a village to build a stronger future for everyone.”
“Building off of the speech, our general election advertising campaign will begin later this week,” the aide said. “The campaign’s first general election ad, ‘Who We Are’, is narrated by Clinton, as she explains the choice in this election. The spot includes clips of Donald Trump from his campaign events over the past year, including when he mocked a reporter’s disability.”
The ad will begin airing Thursday in battleground states.
“It’s wrong to pit people against each other,” the Clinton says in the ad. “It’s time to unite behind some simple, common goals. … What kind of America do we want to be? Dangerously divided, or strong and united. I believe we are always stronger — together.
