The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Sen. Raphael Warnock: "The Power is in the People. It's Not the People in Power” · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Well, I think about yourself, you know, maybe maybe because I'm a pastor.

When I when I ran in my races, I seldom talked about Democrats or Republicans because I didn't I don't see the world primarily through that lens.

I'm a pastor who ran for the first time and got elected to the Senate.

But I don't think most people, when they wake up in the morning, think about themselves as Democrats and Republicans.

And the issue is who's going to center the concerns of working class people.

There's a lot being made of, you know, the elections that happened in New York, what happened in Colorado.

And I would argue that while some folks are interested in the ideological debate of,

Most people don't think about these issues in those terms.

Those are academic arguments happening among privileged people.

But everyday people, everyday Americans who don't have $400 for an emergency, who cannot afford to buy their first home in a country where the average age of the first-time homebuyer is 40.

whose health care premiums were doubled because they wouldn't extend the premium tax credits.

Those folks want to know who sees them, who actually can see me and understand the concerns of ordinary people and who will fight for me.

And I think that that's the thing that our candidates who are winning, whether they are all the way on the left or moderates, that's the thing they have in common, is that they're talking out of a place of authenticity that sees the concerns of ordinary people.

And while we may disagree on some of the solutions, my worry is I don't want to see us, you know, have a circular firing squad about anything.

ideological differences, even in our party.

I think that's a sign of a healthy party with a big tent.

What we have to remember is that we are fighting an authoritarian.

And there's nothing inside of this tent that's more urgent and more threatening than Donald Trump and his enablers in Congress.

Again, I lived in New York as a young person for 10 years.

I went to seminary in New York.
