The movie is The Sum of All Fears, and the full quote you're thinking of is:
My beautiful wife, Julie, is from New Jersey. 15 electoral votes... and is, as you know, half Jewish. So we'll take Florida's 25 electoral votes and divide by 2. My daughter, Jeanie, is expecting her first child. If it's a girl, she will be named Virginia. 13 electoral votes. In fact, even if it's a boy, he'll be named Virginia. She reminds me that I have publicly acknowledged that as a young Marine officer in Vietnam, I did, on a handful of occasions, smoke marijuana.
[pause]
California. 54 electoral votes.
Source for the quote is IMDB, but I recognized the movie as I recently rewatched all the Jack Ryan movies.
