I don't think that it has met the moment.

I mean, we are facing in Donald Trump an existential threat to our country, to our democracy.

I mean, this is a guy who just a few weeks ago was tweeting about nuking Iran.

right?

The things that they have done just this morning, I saw another Supreme Court ruling on the VRA.

I'm sure we can get to that.

Save America Act.

I mean, they are January 6th.

There's so many things that this administration is doing that are such a threat to us that you need more effective response from Senate Democrats.

And Schumer's not provided that.

Second,

And I will never forget this.

Chuck Schumer said on television, it is fine for our party to write off rural voters and blue-collar voters because for every one of those votes we lose, we're going to make up two more in the suburbs.

And that math might work in New York.

It definitely does not work in Iowa.

And frankly, that's not the Democratic Party that I want to belong to.

Since the New Deal, this is the party that has fought for workers' rights and civil rights and women's rights.

We are the party that fights for people who have lost their jobs to being offshored or now being replaced with artificial intelligence.

We fight for people who need a champion, no matter who you are or where you come from.

That is a Democratic Party that I believe in, and that is the Democratic Party that we have to fight for.
