Published | Video Starts at 1:10:14

That's what really matters. And I'm reminded of that in this moment that we're living in as Democrats, that we have to remember that What really matters to people is not the offensive things that Donald Trump is saying, and even democracy, as a broad topic, which I am fighting for, but that this issue that people say, oh, it's an issue. Affordability. But this idea that you can't afford to pay your rent, or this idea that you can't afford to buy your groceries and feed your family or make enough money to do those things, those are the things that we ought to be focusing.
