Clinton After Northeast Primary Wins: ‘We Are Going To Come Together’

Hillary Clinton called upon her party to unify behind after her wins in three out of the five primaries that were held Tuesday.

“We are going to come together and we are going to solve the problems we face,” she told her supporters.

“We have to be both dreamers and doers,” Clinton later added.

Clinton addressed a rally in Philadelphia after her victories in the Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware primaries had been declared. Bernie Sanders’ win in Rhode Island was called just as she began her remarks, while Connecticut was too close to call.

“Our campaign is about restoring people’s confidence in our ability to solve problems together, by delivering results that help people follow their own dreams,” Clinton said. “That’s why we’re setting bold progressive goals, backed up by real plans that will improve lives.”

She praised Sanders and his supporters for “challenging us to get unaccountable money out of our politics and giving greater emphasis to closing the gap of inequality.”

However, her speech stressed the similarities between her and Sanders, on issues like health care, LGBT rights, climate change and reproductive rights.

“We will build on a strong progressive tradition from Franklin Roosevelt to Barack Obama,” she said.

She also lobbed some criticisms at Republicans — and particularly Donald Trump — in a shift towards the general election.

“I want you to keep imagining a tomorrow where instead of building walls, we’re breaking down barriers,” Clinton said.

She also brought up comments Trump made recently that she had been playing the “women card.”

“Well, if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!” she said.

She ended the speech by noting that Philadelphia will be hosting the Democratic national convention in July.

“Let’s go forward, let’s win the nomination and in July, let’s return as a unified party!” she said.
