OK– this is a start (though the mislabeling of the second source isn’t a good look… be careful, be precise, be thorough). Your first secondary source is a primary source, as well.
Now you need to both narrow and deepen.
Which speeches are you focusing on in the elections referenced above?
What are the “promises” you will be using to make your argument? Given those promises and the contexts of the moments in which they were made, what does it mean that the promises came out as they did?
We know that you are finding similarity in the types of promises that you’ve found. What does this similarity mean? What’s the answer to the “so what?” question?
