Telling a personal tale will always attract voters.

Biden: Nato

Sanders: It's not one country. It's rebuilding trust in the United Nations

Gillibrand: Iran

Bennet: European allies and every Central American country

Into final statements. Strong from Harris, Sanders and Swalwell.

Williamson's pitch will get attention, she is certainly not afraid to sound "out there".

[28 June 2019 04:01 · Chris Stevenson]

Hickenlooper: As Colorado governor, I brought in progressive policies. Socialism is bad, and will relect Trump.

Gillibrand: Women in America are on fire, but our rights are under attack. I will take on the fights no one else will. Now is not the time to be afraid of first.

Yang: The right candidate to beat Trump will have a vision of a trickle-up economy. I am that candidate, I can build a broad coalition.

Harris: this election is about you. Your hopes, your dreams, your fears. I will lead with dignity, honesty.
