He hasn't changed.
Look, I hearken back to January of 2024.
January 2024, Joe Biden, still running for reelection, gave a speech at Valley Forge.

Now, he wasn't wrong.
That's something you've got to fight for.
The problem is that for an average voter, if you knock on a door, and I've knocked on a lot, and say to people like, you know, what's the most important issue to you?
Five out of 100 people will say democracy.
The other 95 people mostly will say, I can't pay my bills.
Economy, money, kitchen table, whatever.
Yeah, can't get a job that pays the bills, right?
And so you've got to address those things in order to win an election.
That's not what happened in 2024.
But that's not, in the end, how you โ that's not the message of the party.
The message of the party is we're the party of the middle class and the working class.
We're the party that fights for the most vulnerable.
