LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — Bill and Hillary Clinton returned to their humble political beginnings in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bill Clinton’s presidential election victory and the 13th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center’s grand opening.
The event brought together Clinton’s campaign staff and the friends and family who played a role in the 1992 election.
Sheila Bronfam is a long-time friend of Bill Clinton and had a hand in creating the Arkansas Travelers more than 25 years ago. The Travelers were a group of roughly 600 campaign volunteers who toured the United States, urging people to vote for former President Clinton.
“It’s really, really humbling. Not many people ever get to know a president of the United States personally, so it’s a lot of fun,” Bronfam said. “He tends to keep his friends together. And so we like to do that and we’re happy to celebrate his legacy.”
In Little Rock talk, Bill and Hillary Clinton recall 1992 presidential election
Story by Emma Pettit
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, relayed stories from their lives in public service to thousands in downtown Little Rock on Saturday evening, commemorating the 25th anniversary of Bill Clinton’s first presidential victory.
More than 3,000 people filled the Statehouse Convention Center to hear the Clintons conversation, moderated by James Carville, who ran Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 campaign.
The talk, part of the Frank and Kula Kumpuris distinguished lecture series, drew supporters and former staff members from the Clinton administration.
After watching a highlight reel of the 1992 campaign, Carville asked the Clintons to reflect on campaigning in New Hampshire during the 1992 presidential push, as Bill Clinton’s poll numbers quickly dropped.
Here are a few memories.

The Sanders Cult has no idea what a miracle it was when a Democrat was elected president in 1992. Except for Carter’s one term, we had had Republican presidents going back to LBJ. And Bill Clinton never could have won had he run around the country sounding like Bernie Sanders. Yet, his was a progressive platform which “put people first” and emphasized values like community and responsibility. Heady times if you lived through them.
I’m also old enough to remember what a “troublemaker” his wife was considered. Way too liberal and uppity. She would be his downfall pundits predicted. She turned out to be his legacy! A trailblazer like none other.

The NYT is reporting that based on comments at this event, the Clintons haven’t gotten over losing to Trump. For the record, neither has America.
