Just think what would happen if Wisconsin, if you gave this man a majority in the House and Senate, what would happen here? Just imagine one vote. One Senate vote in Minnesota was the difference between that. One Senate vote in Minnesota gave us paid family and medical leave, one vote expanded healthcare, one vote made sure that we're addressing climate change. That's what you can give to this governor. And that's what we need to give to Vice President Harris. That's our vision for the country. (27:25–27:35)
