Governor Hochul
“I know that our country feels so divided. Believe me, it was divided back 250 years ago… We have had conflicts before, but I want you to know, whether it’s a blue state, red state, purple state — it doesn’t matter, because if someone shook you in the middle of the night, woke you up and said, ‘What are you?’ I guarantee people all across this country from every walk of life would say, ‘I’m an American. I’m an American first.’ Never forget that. We have so much more that unites us.”
