But just to be clear, what we should have been focused on every single day is and every minute of every day is on the things that matter to your life at the kitchen table. Like, can you pay your bills? Can you buy the the tomatoes, the eggs, the groceries that you need for your family? Can you afford those things? You know, which under Donald Trump has gone up in price significantly.

Just things that matter to you in your everyday life. One more thing about this. You know, Biden gave a speech in in January of 2024, I think, at Valley Forge about democracy. Everything he said was accurate and democracy was on the line in that election. But.

The problem is if you go door to door, and I've done a lot of door to door, door knocking for votes, and you talk to people at the doors, people don't understand what it means when you say democracy is at risk. And you could explain it all you want, but people are used to a system that just works for them. They've never seen democracy that goes away, right, in your entire life.

And so it's hard to make that case to people. But you can make the case that we Democrats, we're the ones who are providing childcare for families that need to go to work and leave their child in a quality environment. We're the ones who are funding education and believe in funding education, not just K through 12, but also being able to go to community college.

We're the ones who are standing up for Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. And Those cases really weren't made very well during that last election. So we need to, you know, laser-like focus on those issues.

And if I had to pick one thing that I wish that Kamala Harris had talked about, because I think it's such an easy thing for us to point out to the American public, the Republicans are opposed to raising the minimum wage at $7.25. $7.25 an hour, $14,000 a year. You can't live as a single person, let alone raise a family. So we should have been talking about the minimum wage.

Here in Illinois, we raised the minimum wage to $15. We should be talking about that, doing that nationally. We should be talking about the idea that we want higher wages for people. Republicans want lower wages. There are many Republicans, if you just survey the Congress, they're opposed to raising the minimum wage, and many of them would like to get rid of the minimum wage.
