New York Times Headline: Seth Moulton Ends 2020 Presidential Campaign with a Warning

 

The Boston Globe: After Seth Moulton Drops Out of Race, He Has No Regrets

 

MSNBC (Video): “[Seth has] been touted as a rising star in the Democratic Party”

New York Times: “A combat veteran who served in the Iraq War, Mr. Moulton campaigned on themes of strengthening national defense and promoting public service, and criticizing Mr. Trump for damaging the country’s most vital alliances. In May, he revealed that he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder after returning from war, and called for new policies to attend to the mental health issues of soldiers and veterans. Stanley McChrystal, the retired general who led American forces in Afghanistan, endorsed Mr. Moulton’s campaign.”

Boston Globe: “As he criss-crossed America, he found a profound disconnect between the media world and the real world. He said his Serve America initiative to increase awareness of and participation in national service was very popular with ordinary folks if not the media...Moulton shrugs criticism off, noting that most of the people in John Kennedy’s book ‘Profiles in Courage,’ indeed many of the people given the award named for that book, defied their own party to do what they think is right. He’s got a point. When the loud and proud congresswomen nicknamed The Squad threw some shade on Pelosi, they were hailed as courageous truth-tellers by other progressives. When Moulton argued that Pelosi and her leadership team, almost entirely men, had run the party into the ground and presided over historic losses, he was dismissed as sexist and ageist. The double standard is glaring, and it blinds a lot of progressives when it comes to Moulton. After all, he has been outspoken in calling for President Trump’s impeachment, while Pelosi has demurred. So, who’s the real progressive?”

ABC News: “Combat veteran Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who wanted to add ‘president’ to his long list of accomplishments -- four tours of duty in Iraq, three Harvard degrees, four years in the U.S. Congress -- announced on Friday that he's dropping out of the 2020 presidential race...During his 123-day presidential bid, Moulton campaigned in nine states where he held at least 56 events and focused mostly on national security, national service and mental health. The Bronze Star recipient brought an unmatched passion for service to the 2020 presidential race by continuously hosting veteran and military themed events: roundtables with JROTC students, military family groups, town halls with veterans, American Legion and VFW visits and most recently, Moulton visited the Veterans Community Project, a Kansas City based nonprofit that builds tiny houses for homeless veterans….Opening up about his own experience with PTS (post-traumatic stress), Moulton launched a ‘Veterans Mental Health’ tour and released a mental health plan that advocated for a national mental health hotline, routine mental health check-ups for active duty military personnel and veterans, and called for funding for yearly mental health screenings for high schoolers. Moulton also used these past four months, in part, to repeatedly point out President Trump’s lack of military experience, with the most recent comment being at the Iowa State Fair last week when a fairgoer yelled ‘Go Trump!’ and the Marine replied ‘If you want a draft dodger, he’s your guy.’”

CNN: “Moulton has told staff and friends that he plans to continue pushing the Democratic Party on issues that motivated his campaign, like issues facing veterans, the need to incentivize national service and the importance of a comprehensive strategy around national defense Those efforts will commence on Monday when Moulton hosts a town hall for veterans in Fairfax, Virginia, alongside General Stanley McChrystal, a military leader who endorsed Moulton's 2020 bid. Aides to the congressman said they hope that he could be in line for a host of administration posts, should a Democrat in the White House in 2020, including secretary of veterans affairs, defense secretary and United Nations ambassador.”

NBC News: “‘I will continue to fight for a new generation of leadership in our party and our country,’ the Iraq War veteran [said] in remarks to a Democratic National Committee meeting in San Francisco. ‘And most of all, I will be campaigning my a-- off for whoever wins our nomination in 2020.’ For Moulton, the campaign had presented an opportunity to raise his profile a little bit, create a larger network of donors and — his allies clearly hope — put himself in position to possibly join the administration if a Democrat wins the presidency.”

Buzzfeed: “Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, rose to some prominence in politics for recruiting other Afghanistan and Iraq War veterans to run for Congress over the last few elections.”

Washington Examiner: “Through his presidential campaign, Moulton condemned the Democratic Party’s move leftward, opened up about his challenges with post-traumatic stress disorder, and challenged former Vice President Joe Biden to apologize for his Iraq War vote. In May, Moulton said that the U.S. is not a socialist country and that a socialist candidate would not win the presidential race.”

POLITICO: “The three-term congressman plans to say in a speech later on Friday that he feels confident that he ‘raised issues that are vitally important to the American people and our future,’  and he will pledge to campaign vigorously for the eventual Democratic nominee.”

Bloomberg: “Moulton is an Iraq War veteran and focused his campaign on national security issues. That earned him the endorsement of retired General Stanley McChrystal, who led U.S. forces in Afghanistan.”

John Fugelsang @johnfugelsang: Seth Moulton is someone who served in the US military, didn’t inherit everything from his dad, lacks a 40 yr history of documented racism and actually gives a damn about the people who will be hurt by the stock crashes you inspire.

He "fearlessly exposed himself to enemy fire" as his platoon was pinned down under heavy fire. Awarded Bronze Star

 

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom: .@sethmoulton received the Bronze Star for valor for “fearlessly exposing himself to enemy fire” in battles against Iraqi insurgents. Donald Trump made up “bone spurs” to avoid service in Viet Nam.

 

Ted Lieu @TedLieu: Hey @realDonaldTrump, the Dow actually dropped over 623 points today.
Also, @sethmoulton served in combat & received a bronze star. You received fake deferments because of your daddy. In other words, Rep Moulton remains a hero. And you remain a frickin coward. #FridayThoughts

Seth Moulton to End Presidential Campaign During Speech At DNC Summer Meeting

Seth Moulton to End Presidential Campaign During Speech At DNC Summer Meeting

San Francisco, CA - During his speech this morning at the Democratic National Committee's Summer meeting, Seth Moulton will be ending his campaign for president. Seth will be speaking at approximately 10:45 AM PST / 1:45 PM EST. His remarks as prepared can be found below.

Hello DNC! Thank you so much—for having me here today, and for all that you do.

I have only been in this race since April—I got in later than many of the other candidates—but I couldn’t be more proud of what our team has accomplished over these last several months.

We have been challenging Donald Trump where he’s weakest—as Commander in Chief—and showing this country that Democrats are the party of making America strong overseas and safe here at home.

We have been running to take back patriotism from the Republican party. Because as we all know here in this room, true patriotism isn’t about hugging the flag, but about fighting to make sure the flag stands for something.

We have put forward the most aggressive call to national service in a generation, asking all 33 million young Americans to serve here at home and tackle the biggest challenges of today like climate change.

And this campaign has even helped me face a few of my own fears.

For the first time in my life, I talked publicly about dealing with post-traumatic stress from my four combat tours in Iraq.

… about how I sought help to deal with my post-traumatic stress—help that has made me a better public servant and a better husband and father.

And our team put forward a plan that will end the stigma around mental health—the same stigma that kept me silent for so long, and that kept every presidential candidate before me from talking about mental health struggles themselves.

That’s what this campaign has been about, and I’m so proud of what we’ve done.

But today, I want to use this opportunity, with all of you here, to announce that I am ending my campaign for president.

Though this campaign is not ending the way we hoped, I am leaving this race knowing that we raised issues that are vitally important to the American people and our future.

I couldn’t have done any of this without my amazing wife Liz and daughter Emmy behind me.

I couldn’t have done it without my extraordinary team, who worked incredibly hard for a longshot candidate because they believed in me and our mission like they believe in our country.

And I definitely couldn’t have done it without everyone who supported me and came out to events and donated and volunteered for this campaign all across this country.

Each of you reminds me, everywhere and every day, of what truly makes America great.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

…

While this is the end of my campaign, it is certainly not the end of our efforts.

I will once again be running for Congress in the 6th District of Massachusetts, my home, and I can’t wait to get back at it.

I will be relaunching my organization, Serve America—which helped take back the House last cycle by electing 21 service-driven Democrats in tough districts across America—to work with all of you to keep the House, to flip the Senate, and to win back statehouses across the country next November. Because those down-ballot races are every bit as important as the Presidential.

And most of all, I will be campaigning my ass off for whoever wins our nomination in 2020.

Donald Trump is going to be harder to beat than most people think. But we can, and we must, beat him—because our country, our values, and our future depend on it.

As a party, we need to spend these next months doing everything we can to determine who our strongest nominee will be. And as we do so, we can’t be distracted by the latest outrage on Twitter or the reality show politics of the day.

We need to stay grounded in what it’s going to take to win over voters—all kinds of Democrats, Independents like the Obama-Trump voters, and even disaffected Republicans—and bring the country together around beating Donald Trump.

Because you can be a Democrat, or a Republican, or an Independent. But if you’re an American, you know that we’re better than this.

And we’re going to prove it at the ballot box in 2020.

…

Now before I go, I want to say one more thing.

My mentor in college, Reverend Peter Gomes, once said, “Hope is the stuff that gets us through and beyond when the worst that can happen, happens.”

And oftentimes, in these past couple of years, and even in these past couple of weeks, it’s felt like the worst that could happen in America has happened.

But when I traveled the country and district over these last several months, I found hope.

I found hope in the veterans I met who are working to end the stigma around mental health by sharing their stories for the very first time.

I found hope in the kids who are walking out of school demanding progress on climate change and guns.
I found hope in the teachers and reporters who have been striking for basic pay.
I found hope in the women who have been marching for basic respect.
I found hope in the amazing, diverse, talented group of leaders we have running for president.
And I find hope here in this room, and in rooms like it across America, where Democrats are banding together—despite all of our differences—to beat Donald Trump.

And to fight for who we are.

That hope is what gets us, as individuals, through the darkest of times.

And it is what will lead our country through the darkest of times as well.

You know, I often say that in the men and women I served with in Iraq, I saw the best of America in the worst of circumstances. In the midst of a war many of us disagreed with—a war I spoke out against—we always knew that despite the failures in Washington, we were fighting for each other.

We had each other’s backs.

And we believed in our values so much that they were willing to fight for them.

Well, I saw the same thing in this campaign.

I saw Americans from all backgrounds, all races, all religions, standing up and fighting for our values because they believe in our country—even when it lets them down.

Especially when it lets them down.

Because THAT is when the country needs us most.

We have a lot of work to do, and some tough months ahead of us, but we can do this. We wake up tomorrow in the America that we make. And I’m so proud to be making it better with all of you.

Thank you.

Seth Moulton Raises Over $1.245 million From Over 17,000 Individual Donors

Seth Moulton Has the Resources to Compete on the Ground

Salem, MA - The following statement can be attributed to Moulton for America National Press Secretary, Matt Corridoni:

“In the second fundraising quarter, Seth raised over $1.245 million from over 17,000 individual donors. Our average donation was approximately $65, and roughly half of our donors were women. The campaign ended the quarter with approximately $725,000 cash on hand. Entering the race late gave us a steep hill to climb, but we’re proud of this quarter and know we have the resources to run a lean—but strategic and effective—operation moving forward.

“Our best asset is Seth. His message of generational change and patriotism is resonating with everyone he meets, and his strategy of taking Donald Trump on as commander-in-chief has differentiated him in a crowded field. In the coming months, we will be using our resources to get him on the ground in early states, where we believe his profile as a veteran and next-generation candidate will give him an advantage. We are still seven months away from voters showing up to caucus and vote, and this race is wide open. We’re not just looking for a viral moment—we’re doing the work on the ground where it matters most. And we’re going to double down on that strategy in the months ahead.”

Seth Moulton Releases His First Television Ads of the Cycle

Seth Moulton Releases His First Television Ads of the Cycle

Salem, MA - This morning, Moulton for America is releasing our first television ads of the cycle. These 30-second ads will play during or right before the Democratic Presidential Debates in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. In addition, we are releasing an extended 60-second online ad that will be playing on digital platforms in the coming days. Ads can be found attached, and full transcripts are below. This release follows yesterday’s announcement of Seth’s media availability and public schedule while in Miami on Wednesday and Thursday - continuing with the campaign’s commitment to being open, accessible, and transparent with the press and meeting voters where they are.

30-Second Television Spot (running IA and NH Wednesday, SC and NV Thursday):
“I’m Seth Moulton. I won’t be on the debate stage tonight, so I’m introducing myself here. I served four combat tours in Iraq, a war I spoke out against. I’m progressive, I’m practical, and I can beat Donald Trump. We all know what a terrible person Donald Trump is, but what we need to talk about is what a terrible President he is. At home, he’s broken every promise. Our allies are more concerned than our enemies. Iowa/New Hampshire/South Carolina/Nevada, it’s time for a new generation of leadership.

"I’m Seth Moulton. I served four combat tours in Iraq, a war that I spoke out against. I’m progressive, I’m practical, and I can beat Donald Trump. We know what a terrible person Donald Trump is, what we need to talk about what a terrible President he is. At home, he has tried to take away health coverage for millions, and his trade wars are bankrupting our farmers and factories. Abroad, our allies are more worried about America than our enemies. And globally, he’s destroyed progress on the defining challenge of our time: climate change. Our next President must be able to bring this country together and win this election, because the stakes are too high. It’s time for the generation that fought in Iraq to step in, and it’s time for the generation that sent us there to step aside. It’s time for a new generation of leadership. I’m Seth Moulton, and I approve this message."
