CD 3 Club 20 debate

Published September 21, 2024 | Video Starts at 38:52

For 25 years, I've said if there was a get stuff done party, I'd be in the get stuff dumb party. But that party's not doing very well right now, and our country's suffering for it. For 20 years, I was independent. I made it very clear when I get to Congress, I'm going to go join the problem of Solvers caucus, which is made up of 30 Democrats and 30 Republicans, to sit down and work on bipartisan issues. (38:52–38:55)
