| Additional Information | “Stronger Together” was the 2016 United States presidential campaign slogan of candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and vice-presidential running mate Tim Kaine. Clinton was selected as the Democratic party’s nominee following a contentious party primary, in which Clinton competed mainly with fellow Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. The nomination was in a way momentous: while several women have run for US presidential office, Clinton is the first and only woman to have won a major-party nomination. In the general election, Clinton lost the electoral vote—and the election—by a slim margin to Republican nominee Donald Trump. While National Public Radio wrote that the “Stronger Together” slogan was “boring” and “rhetorical oatmeal,” it was also persistent. The phrase was later used verbatim by Clinton’s former adversary in his own presidential communication. |
