That future will be shaped more by what happens on November 8 in voting booths across our nation than by any other event in the world. I have come here today not to talk about the past but to focus on the future. She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States. Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that. Secretary Clinton goes into the convention with 389 more pledged delegates than we have and a lot more super delegates. But it is not enough to win the nomination.
That is a lot of delegates, far more than almost anyone thought we could win. Our campaign won the primaries and caucuses in 22 states, and when the roll call at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is announced it will show that we won almost 1,900 delegates. I am proud of the campaign we ran here in New Hampshire and across the country.
Together, we continue the fight to create a government which represents all of us, and not just the one percent – a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.
Together, we have begun a political revolution to transform America and that revolution continues. Let me also thank the hundreds of thousands of volunteers in every state in our country who worked so hard on our campaign and the millions of our contributors who showed the world that we could run a successful national campaign based on small individual contributions – 2 1/2 million of them. Let me also thank the people here in New Hampshire who gave us our first big win and a special thanks to the people of Vermont whose support for so many years has sustained me. Let me begin by thanking the 13 million Americans who voted for me during the Democratic primaries.
