John Kerry is a prominent Democratic politician from Massachusetts who served as the 68th Secretary of State from February 2013 to January 2017 under President Barack Obama. Prior to his role as Secretary of State, Kerry was a United States Senator, representing Massachusetts from January 1985 until June 2013.

He played a significant role in the negotiation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in addressing global challenges.
Stop and think about what's happening in America. As John said a moment ago, if you're a conservative, there is nothing conservative about piling debt on the shoulders of our children and driving the deficits up as far as the eye can see.
And in our administration, John and I pledge to you, we will never go to war because we want to. The United States of America should only go to war because it has to.
We're off, as John said, to an America that is stronger at home, and is again respected in the world.
The schedule calls for presidential debates in Miami, Saint, Louis, and Tempe, Arizona, and the vice presidential debate in Cleveland.
Don't tell us the strongest democracy on earth that a million disenfranchised African-Americans and the most tainted election in American history is the best that we can do.
The president may be too busy to speak to you now, but I've got news for you. He's going to have plenty of time after November 2.
I don't think there's any need for the president -- or for Mr. Kerry to distance himself.
The only sad part is that President Candidate Kerry chose not to address that.
Friends, I will be a president who meets with the leadership of the civil rights congress, who meets with the NAACP.
Bush broke a trust with the American people with his decision to invade Iraq.
It's not enough just to give speeches. America will only be safer when we get results.
Are we going to continue to follow a self-serving regime of deceit, hypocrisy, and belligerence?
There is serious and dangerous stuff out there, and something's got to change.
Our crucial intelligence and military resources are overstretched abroad, and our homeland security effort at home is underfunded and poorly managed.
We want to announce today that we have new campaign manager, Jack Edwards.
Kerry and Edwards appeared before a crowd of thousands in the important battleground state.
John Edwards, who has more experience than George Bush and better judgment than he does when he became president of the United States...
We had a wonderful dinner last night, we sat around, we laughed, we chatted, we talked politics.
When I came back from Vietnam in 1969, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not sure if John Edwards was out of diapers then yet, or not, I'm truly not sure. I don't know.
He has honored the lessons of home and family that he learned in North Carolina, and he brings those values to shape a better America together with all of us. John Edwards is ready for this job.
