Our Republican colleagues, they're willing to contract out all of their responsibilities under the Constitution to Donald Trump. We're not willing to do that because we've seen the lawless actions he's taken. So, for example, He [Donald Trump] did disrupt clinical trials for cancer patients. That was illegal, but he did it. Even though it harmed lots of people. So we want to put up some safeguards and guardrails to prevent that from happening. We also do want to address rising prices in the country. (13:24–13:33)
