What is a "stump speech"?
A stump speech is a prepared and often repeated speech delivered by a political candidate or public speaker during a campaign or series of public appearances. It typically includes key messages, policy positions, and personal anecdotes designed to persuade and engage voters. The term originates from the practice of candidates giving speeches while standing on a tree stump to be more visible and heard by a crowd. Today, stump speeches are used to consistently convey a candidate’s main themes and messages throughout their campaign.
Example
The candidate delivered their stump speech, focusing on education reform and healthcare access.
