The MeidasTouch Podcast · DNC Chair Ken Martin Reacts to Trump’s Disaster Shutdown · 29 Oct 2025 podcast

You know, the reality is since Trump was inaugurated, there's been 45 elections on the ballot, and the Democrats have actually overperformed to the tune of about 16 percentage points on average, which is a historic overperformance.

There is huge wind at our back right now for sure.

You have one of the most unpopular presidents ever in this country's history with the least popular piece of legislation in over a half a century that they just passed.

I mean, for God's sake, this is the first time in our country's history we're actually taking health care away from people.

first time ever usually we're expanding healthcare access usually we're bringing people more into those social safety nets instead we're kicking people out and as i mentioned it's not just the insurance that's being taken away it's the nutrition benefit programs and it's also the fact that 300 hospitals are going to close across this country a quarter of nursing homes are going to close

And we know just in a matter of days, every American is going to get their health care renewal notices for next year, their insurance renewal notices.

And almost everyone is going to see on average around a 30 percent premium increase.

That's all a result of this maniac in the White House and his complicit general in Mike Johnson, who's doing nothing but kissing this guy's ass because he's a sycophant.

Yeah, well, that's exactly right.

And I'm proud of the Democrats in Congress for actually both in the Senate and the House for understanding right now, particularly with health care on the line for so many Americans that we need to stand up and fight right now.

And, you know, make no mistake about this.

This is the Republicans who've decided to shut government down because they want to make it harder for people to actually fight.

have the health care that they need and deserve in this country.

And so I've always said, if you're not willing to fight like hell for the things you believe in, then do you really believe in them at all?

And what we're finally seeing out of Democrats throughout this country is people willing to stand up and fight for what they believe in.

And let me say on the redistricting front, I was the first person on the ground in Texas the day after Greg Abbott decided to do this redistricting.

And what I've been really buoyed about is the response from Democratic elected officials around the country who understand the assignment, right?

Which is, of course, this mid-cycle redistricting is unconstitutional.

It's a craven power grab by Republicans who know they're likely to lose in 2026.

And so what are they doing?
