President Carter was the first president to host leaders from Kenya for an official State Visit. And in his own dinner toast, he called the United States and Kenya “neighbors.”
Not because we share borders. But because we share beliefs.
Jill and I join the Uvalde community in honoring the lives of those who were tragically stolen from us in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School 2 years ago today.
As we mark this solemn day, may we pray for those we lost, their loved ones, and all those who were wounded.
The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy. And key to that right is ensuring voters pick their elected officials – not the other way around.
Today's Supreme Court decision undermines the basic principle that voting practices shouldn't discriminate on account of race.
@VP and I are ironclad in our commitment to protecting the right to vote, and we will not stop fighting until Congress passes the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the Voting Rights Act, and the Freedom to Vote Act to ensure fair Congressional maps.
Like President Ruto, I believe the future will be won by countries that unleash the full potential of their populations – including civil society, women, and young people.
On behalf of myself and Jill, the Vice President and Second Gentleman, and the American people –

Congressional Republicans do not care about securing the border or fixing America’s broken immigration system.
If they did, they’d have voted for the toughest border enforcement in history. By blocking the bipartisan border agreement, they put partisan politics ahead of our country’s national security.
And while Congressional Republicans choose to stand in the way of border enforcement, I’m committed to taking action to address our broken immigration system.
They have the power to uphold basic rights or to roll them back.
They hear cases that decide whether Americans have the freedom to make their own health care decisions; to cast their ballots; to unionize; and to breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Going forward, I will continue my solemn responsibility of nominating individuals who have excelled in their professional careers, who reflect the communities they serve, and who apply the law impartially and without favoritism.
