It's what we're building.

For 2028 and 2030 and 2032, we need a Democratic Party that is no longer fighting from a defensive crouch, but is telling people what it is that we're for, that we're going to fight for the things that they need and that they deserve.

I mean, I was I was pissed, frankly, and so incredibly disappointed.

I think people were with us and we literally saw that on the you know, in the election results on on Tuesday.

It was up and down the ballot all across the country.

Folks were like Democrats are fighting for us.

And we somehow

These eight Democrats were able to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.

And I think it makes everyone's job, who's running right now, so much harder.

We were starting to rebuild that trust.

We were starting to rebuild that enthusiasm.

And so now, I think we just have to really call it out for what it is.

It's capitulation to Donald Trump and to the congressional Republicans, and it's bullshit.

And I think it's just so clear

That's what I'm hearing from folks in Minnesota and people are sick of it.

That is why we are in this very position that we find ourselves in is that folks just aren't willing to stand up and to fight.

So I think it is the opportunity for people now as we are going into the 2026 cycle to decide who do you want?

Who do you want fighting for you?

Do you want people who are just gonna go along with the status quo and somehow think

that in three years, when this guy is out of the White House, that things are going to be OK?
