We have a president who is completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented brazen personal corruption, who is passing one of the most unpopular agendas in American history.
The public is turning against him.
The opposition is motivated.

And yes, we in Congress have obligations to rise to this moment and all of us have obligations to work like hell to win these midterm elections and to restore some checks and balances to Washington.

You know, there is good reason to believe that they are shaping American grand strategy
around the personal financial interests of the first family.
And the hypocrisy is stunning.
Like one of the things I said at a rally a few months ago was like, Hunter Biden should have been more ambitious.
This is an insane level of corruption and self enrichment.
