Elizabeth Warren

I just went everywhere.

And said, none of this would have happened if the Democrats hadn't been wiped out in 2024.

So what the speech was about is how we build a bigger tent, a durable tent, but a tent

It's based on trust with working people.

A tent that comes from the party, remember, Democrats, who aren't just now, well, we're not as bad an alternative as the other guys, but we are actually the people who brought America social security and minimum wage and the 40-hour work week and overtime and unemployment insurance and union rights and

and housing for returning veterans and housing for first-time homebuyers and Medicare and Medicaid and, of course, the Affordable Care Act.

It's time for us to be strong.

It's time for us to be bold.

But right now is also the time to set the foundation that we're going to run on and to get out there and run on it.

So last week, I gave over $400,000.

to 23 state democratic parties and said, use this money to build your infrastructure.

What were the 23?

They're all ones that have competitive house races, competitive Senate races, or a competitive governor's race.

That's where the money went.

And the state parties have said to me, this is fabulous.

They can now use the money to hire some staff.

They can start bringing in volunteers right now.

This is a job.

You don't do that job in October and do it effectively.

You do that job in January.
