But in the meantime...
I am saying to my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, that we can stop this arms race to the bottom tomorrow.
Congress can pass my provision, Senator Padilla's provision, that would ban gerrymandering.
And that's what we need to do.
That's what I would support.
I honestly think, as a citizen, let me just step back from my role as a United States senator representing a party.
I think our democracy would be a whole lot better if we had more competitive congressional districts, if there were more districts in our country.
Where a Democrat could win it, a Republican could win it, the issue is who's going to come with the best ideas and who are people convinced that's going to fight for them.
People wonder why we can't get anything done in this House, why so little gets done in Congress.
It's because the primary is the whole game.
And we need to do something about it.
The democracy would be better off.
What do you mean by that, primaries the whole game?
Because politicians aren't worried about the general.
They're only worried about someone flanking them who's even more extreme.
Because these districts are so extreme the way they're drawing them.
They're not worried about the general.
They've got to get out of the primary, and they don't want someone who's even more to the right or even more to the left.
And so then you get to Congress, and there's very little incentive to compromise, to get something done of substance on health care, to get something done on gun safety in the places where we actually agreed.
to work so that working families will have a livable wage, to get to some agreement.
