D.C. you talk about the working class, but Donald Trump has successfully stolen the working class from Democrats. That's right. And we can't let that happen. Now, of course, it was still close. Donald Trump lost working people in his past election, but in this election he was able to nudge some of that away from the Democratic Party. And we can't have that. And I think to make that shift to bring working class people overwhelmingly back to the Democratic Party, we've got to show them that we're willing to stand up to the Elon Musk's of the world.
