When you watch how the federal government was firing federal workers, over 25,000 federal workers have been fired inside the state of Maryland.

more than any other state in this country.

And what did we then decide to do?

We then decided to say, how are we focusing on working with the private sector to get them employed?

How are we doing innovative things like our feds to eds and getting federal workers into the education space?

So we're showing not just that we push back, but we're showing what it means to push forward.

I think that

We are going to see how the next president, I think there's really five buckets that the next president is going to have to figure out what everything falls into.

I think you're going to have what's broken and irreparable.

I think you're going to have what's broken and can be fixed.

I think you're going to have what's broken and needs to be fixed differently.

I think you're going to have what survives but needs to be broken.

And I think you're going to have what survived and needs to be sustained.

And I think everything falls into those five buckets.

But I think we've got to remember that there is a bit of a BCAD moment for this presidency that Donald Trump is introducing and what he is doing and the chaos he is causing.

But I think that the answer cannot simply be

well, now we've just got to put everything back together without an understanding of, well, how did this country for a second time allow him back into the Oval Office?

There was something functionally broken and why the process wasn't working for real families and real people, families like mine.

And what we have to do to think about this in a very clear and sober way, that it's not just about...

building this thing back, but understanding why this thing was broken before Donald Trump even ran again.
