I know when I go out to the people of the state of Maryland, I have the same philosophy I had when I led soldiers, where I never once asked my soldiers, what's your political party?

Because it didn't matter, right?

We had one goal and one mission, and we had to go accomplish that.

And so when I'm going all around the state of Maryland and I'm asking Marylanders for their vote come November, I'm not just going to the Democratic areas.

I will go everywhere.

And I think that's how people see that's not just how we campaign, but it's how I govern.

I don't, because actually, I think that this is not about President Trump.

This is about the people we represent.

I can't speak to what other folks do, governors or everywhere else, but that's never my desire.

I just want to make sure that my people are good.

I want to make sure that we are spending our time.

And oftentimes when you're looking at the policies, it does mean push back against this administration.

When we're watching the administration do things like break the law so they can take away food assistance.

But when you're watching them do things like have the largest assault on the federal workforce, and that's now impacted over 25,000 Marylanders, larger than any state in this country.

So we do have a need, unfortunately, in this climate to push back.

But I don't want to spend all my time pushing back.

I want to spend my time actually pushing forward and coming up with new ways for the country to see that the state of Maryland is showing that there is just a better way and that there's a better path.

I think the people decided that Donald Trump should be the president of the United States.

But I can tell you when you're looking at the policies in the state of Maryland, when you're looking at the fact that we are now seeing the greatest impact on employment that we have seen in our state's history in such a short period of time,

when we have watched how our state has not received a single dollar of federal disaster relief since he's been the president of the United States.
