How is Jon Ossoff attacking Donald Trump’s relationship with aide Natalie Harp?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
All right, John Ossoff is on the campaign trail and he is actually offering complete attack dog stuff on Donald Trump. Brings up his quote unquote mistress slash babysitter, Natalie Harp. Play the clip.
Jon Ossoff 0:20
And while the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings. He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
Angie Sullivan 0:51
Yes, this is the energy we need. I wanna say this. I think it's gonna be super important for whoever runs in 2028. And as we get through these midterms, which you guys, this has got to be a blue tsunami, but we head to actually 2028. And of course, everybody knows presidential races are too long. They start campaigning way too early. But what I'm looking for in a candidate is somebody who speaks to every member of the Democratic Party. somebody who doesn't just dismiss the DSA, somebody who doesn't dismiss progressives and speak to them in a patronizing way, somebody who speaks to democratic socialists, progressives, liberals, centrists, moderates, because number one, our goal is exactly what John Ossoff is doing there, beating the fascist.
Angie Sullivan 1:36
These other disagreements are fair conversations, policy conversations that we have to have. But let's jump down here, Kylie. Let's listen to what Hakeem Jeffries is saying.

What vision does the host have for an inclusive 2028 Democratic presidential candidate?

Angie Sullivan 1:47
Play video number four, please.
Kristen Welker 1:49
Think, though, that there is room in the Democratic Party under the tent of the Democratic Party for Democratic Socialists. Is it big enough?
Hakeem Jeffries 2:01
Well, listen, I don't support the DSA agenda as has been articulated by the DSA itself. Now, you're going to have individual members who have been elected in Democratic primaries. And if they are elected in the general in November, will be part of the House Democratic Caucus. It's going to be a broad election. caucus. There will be progressives. There will be new Dems. There will be blue dogs. What I'm excited about are the candidates who are running to flip seats in November.
Angie Sullivan 2:34
So Hakeem, in my opinion, answered that wrong. You immediately say, yes, of course there's room in our big tent because our number one job is to defeat fascism, to defeat Donald Trump, to defeat these insane people. So yes, in the Democratic Party, I, Hakeem Jeffries, don't go as far left, But absolutely, they're welcome in my tent. So that's what I'm looking for for a 2028 presidential candidate. I'm hoping John Ossoff sees this and starts doing that because we can leave we can leave no one behind.

How does Hakeem Jeffries address the role of Democratic Socialists in the party?

Angie Sullivan 3:06
We must be robustly inclusive to everybody, with the exception of these triple trumping fascists and even them. if you realize at some point oh my god we've been lied to this guy's a con man and you're a slow learner welcome aboard because the whole time that you've been voting against yourself we have been organizing to vote for you here's another uh question of hakeem on the sunday circuit play the clip
Kristen Welker 3:31
just to be very clear though as a democratic leader in the house would you vote for or against medicare for
Angie Sullivan 3:38
all
Hakeem Jeffries 3:41
I think as you've indicated in your question to me, it's not legislation that I currently am co-sponsoring or that I support. But we do support the notion that we've got to find a path forward to fix our broken health care system.
Angie Sullivan 3:57
OK. This, you guys, this right here, this is why the Democratic socialist candidates are so desirable to the electorate, because there's not that word salad stuff. It is just an immediate
Jon Ossoff 4:10
yes.
Angie Sullivan 4:11
I'm going to vote for Medicare for all. Every other first world country has it. If we can afford a billion dollars a day in Iran, we can afford to make sure people don't file medical bankruptcy and or die in the richest country in the world because we're too greedy and we continue to fund bombs and we won't help people with health care. So just keep an eye on this. Hakeem will probably end up being the speaker, but it is our job to continue to push Hakeem to being a leader for everybody that isn't fascist.
