Yeah. And so this is a time that in many ways, the Democratic Party has to get back focused on people, period. The reason why during my 25 hours, we centered the voices of Americans, the very Americans you're talking about that said, hey, Booker, you stood for a day. Well, I have two shifts at a diner. I'm on my feet all day or I work in a hospital and I'm around the clock 24 hours.

We need to do more things that show people that we're centering their struggle and that we're going to fight for them and that we actually have ideas now, once people feel like we are fighting for them, that are so much better than the bankrupt ideas of this president who just wants to, again, give outrageously great tax cuts to the wealthiest people who've already done so well in this last quarter century by taking away fundamental programs from the very people we're talking about.
