DEMOCRATS SUPER-ENERGISED

MSNBC: The Dem Dream Team: How Harris’ candidacy is shaping the party’s strategy


Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbVl0XaSZTw
Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I had little interest in 'politics' during my active professional life even though I ran into the chaos created by 'politics' in many parts of the world over a period of many years.

At this time there is a different 'vibe' in the US political conversation as the torch gets passed fron Biden/Harris to Harris. I am too old and fragile to be able to participate actively, but it doesn't matter because pdeople decades younger than me are 'getting it' and stepping up to stand for the core ideas that are the core of US Democracy!

Harris makes me optimistic!

  • >>> WELCOME BACK TO THE
  • WEEKEND, 100 DAYS FOLKS, THE
  • URGENCY IS PALPABLE FOR
  • DEMOCRATS.
  • WITH ONLY 100 DAYS LEFT UNTIL
  • THE ELECTION, THE DNC IS
  • WORKING OVERTIME TO RECALIBRATE
  • ITS CONVENTION NOW THAT VICE
  • PRESIDENT HARRIS IS ALMOST
  • CERTAIN TO BE THE PARTY'S
  • NOMINEE AND THE CANDIDATE AT
  • THE TOP OF THE TICKET IS ALSO
  • CHANGING LANDSCAPE FOR DOWN
  • BALLOT RACES BECAUSE EVERY SEAT
  • IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
  • AND 34 SEATS IN THE SENATE ARE
  • UP FOR GRABS IN NOVEMBER.
  • A SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE 100
  • DAYS MILESTONE, LET'S SEE HOW
  • THE LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC
  • PARTY'S CRUCIAL CAMPAIGN ARMS
  • ARE WORKING AND HOW THAT'S
  • COMING TOGETHER TO TURN
  • WASHINGTON DEAR I SAY IT, BLUE?

  • 1:03
  • JOINING US NOW COMMITTEE
  • CHAIRMAN JAMIE HARRISON.
  • THE CHAIRMAN IS IN THE HOUSE,
  • I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM.
  • CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN CHAIR
  • SUZAN DELBENE, THANK YOU SO
  • MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND
  • SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN CHAIR TERRY
  • PETERS.
  • >> WE LOVE TO SEE IT AND LISA
  • AND I JOKE THAT MICHAEL MISSES
  • BEATING UP ON DEMOCRATS.
  • SO IT'S GREAT THAT HE GOT TO
  • READ THAT SCRIPT.
  • MR. CHAIRMAN, WE WILL START
  • WITH YOU, JAMIE GERMAN,
  • OBVIOUSLY YESTERDAY WAS THE
  • DEADLINE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO
  • FILE IF THEY INTENDED TO RUN
  • FOR PRESIDENT BECAUSE JOE BIDEN
  • HAD STEPPED DOWN OFF THE
  • TICKET.
  • DID ANYONE ELSE PUT IN BEFORE
  • THE FILING DEADLINE YESTERDAY?
  • >> THERE WERE INQUIRING MINDS
  • BUT LET ME JUST SAY THIS,
  • KAMALA HARRIS IS THE
  • PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE.

  • 2:02
  • SHE IS GETTING OVERWHELMING
  • SUPPORT IN TERMS OF SIGNATURES
  • AND WE SEE THE EXCITEMENT THAT
  • HER CAMPAIGN IS BRINGING NOT
  • ONLY TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
  • BUT TO THE COUNTRY.
  • I MEAN WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
  • WE'VE HAD BLACK WOMEN FOR
  • KAMALA HARRIS, LACK OF MEN FOR
  • KAMALA HARRIS, LATINO
  • COMMUNITIES, WHITE WOMEN FOR,
  • HARRIS AND TOMORROW THERE'S A
  • WHITE DUDE -- WHITE DUDES FOR
  • KAMALA HARRIS.
  • I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF
  • ORGANIZING IN ALL OF POLITICS.
  • SHE'S RAISED OVER $200 MILLION.
  • 100,000+ VOLUNTEERS AND THE DNC
  • IS BENEFITING GREATLY.
  • SO OUR VICE PRESIDENT IS THE
  • PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE AND WE WILL
  • HAVE THE OFFICIAL VOTE ON
  • AUGUST 1st, AND FOLKS, WHO HAVE

  • 3:00
  • INQUIRED, THEY HAVE UNTIL JULY
  • 30th TO GET THEIR 300
  • SIGNATURES.
  • >> IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD.
  • TALKING ABOUT THAT ENERGY, IT'S
  • PALPABLE, AND IT'S IMPORTANT
  • FOR THE D TRIPLE C TO GENERATE
  • THAT.
  • THE GENERAL VIEW IS DEMOCRATS
  • PRETTY MUCH HAVE THE UPPER HAND
  • IN THE HOUSE, WE WILL TALK
  • ABOUT THE SENATE IN A MOMENT.
  • WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PROJECT
  • 2025 EFFORT OF THE TRUMP
  • CAMPAIGN.
  • WE LEARNED THIS MORNING THAT
  • THE DCCC IS PUTTING OUT
  • INFORMATION TO MAKE THAT PART
  • OF THE NARRATIVE AS WELL.
  • TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT STRATEGY
  • LOOKS LIKE AND HOW IT'S PLAYING
  • OUT?
  • >> WE WILL HOLD THE HOUSE
  • REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
  • THEIR CHAOS AND DYSFUNCTION AND
  • WE ARE NOT EVEN GOING INTO
  • SESSION THIS WEEK BECAUSE THEY
  • CAN'T GOVERN. WE WILL HOLD THEM
  • ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT AND THE
  • POSITIONS THEY TAKEN.
  • THEY WANT TO PUT IN PLACE
  • NATIONWIDE ABORTION BAN AND

  • 4:00
  • THEY WANT TO CUT SOCIAL
  • 4:01
  • SECURITY AND MEDICARE AND THEY
  • 4:02
  • WANT TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR
  • 4:03
  • MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES AND
  • 4:09
  • INCREASE COSTS FOR MIDDLE-CLASS
  • 4:12
  • FAMILIES AND THAT'S PROJECT
  • 4:12
  • 2025 RIGHT THERE.
  • 4:13
  • SO WE HAVE INCREDIBLE
  • 4:14
  • CANDIDATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
  • 4:15
  • WE HAVE INCUMBENTS RUNNING FOR
  • 4:16
  • REELECTION IN TOUGH DISTRICTS,
  • 4:22
  • THEY ARE DOING INCREDIBLE JOB,
  • 4:23
  • WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING AHEAD OF
  • 4:25
  • REPUBLICANS THIS ENTIRE CYCLE
  • 4:26
  • BECAUSE WE HAVE GREAT
  • 4:26
  • CANDIDATES AND PEOPLE WANT TO
  • 4:27
  • SEE GOVERNMENT WORK.
  • 4:28
  • AND THE REPUBLICANS CAN'T
  • 4:29
  • GOVERN, THEY ARE TAKEN OVER BY
  • 4:30
  • THE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE'S
  • 4:31
  • AND THE MOST EXTREME MEMBERS OF
  • 4:32
  • THEIR PARTY AND WE ARE IN A
  • 4:37
  • STRONG POSITION, WE KNOW WHEN
  • 4:38
  • WE GET OUR MESSAGE OUT THAT WE
  • 4:40
  • WIN.
  • 4:40
  • SO THAT IS OUR FOCUS.
  • 4:41
  • WE'VE GOT A LOT OF RACES, THIS
  • 4:48
  • IS AN IMPORTANT TIME SO WE
  • 4:50
  • REALLY NEED FOR MORE SEATS TO
  • 4:51
  • TAKE BACK THE MAJORITY OF THE
  • 4:52
  • HOUSE AND HAVE SPEAKER JEFFRIES
  • 4:57
  • AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE FOCUSED
  • 4:59
  • ON AND WE ARE IN A STRONG

  • 5:00
  • POSITION.
  • 5:00
  • >> SENATOR PETERS YOU ARE
  • 5:01
  • EQUALLY BULLISH, YOU HAVE AN OP-
  • 5:07
  • ED AND YOU SAY YOU'VE NEVER
  • 5:09
  • BEEN MORE CONFIDENT IN
  • 5:10
  • DEMOCRATS ODDS TO HOLD THE
  • 5:11
  • CENTER.
  • 5:12
  • I WANT TO HEAR WHY THAT IS AND
  • 5:13
  • WHY YOU THINK REPUBLICAN SENATE
  • 5:14
  • CANDIDATES HAVE HAD SUCH A
  • 5:18
  • DIFFICULT TIME NATIONALIZING
  • 5:18
  • THEIR RACES?
  • 5:19
  • >> WELL I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC
  • 5:20
  • ABOUT OUR CHANCES BUT EVERYONE
  • 5:36
  • NEEDS TO KNOW THESE WILL STILL
  • 5:37
  • BE VERY CLOSE RACES IN THE
  • 5:38
  • BATTLEGROUND STATES SO WE NEED
  • 5:39
  • SUPPORT FROM FOLKS OUT THERE,
  • 5:40
  • VOLUNTARY, CONTRIBUTING, WE
  • 5:41
  • STILL HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD
  • 5:42
  • BUT I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC AS I
  • 5:43
  • SAID IN THE OP-ED, IT'S REALLY
  • 5:44
  • ABOUT CANDIDATE QUALITY AND
  • 5:45
  • THAT'S WHY WE CONTINUE TO SEE
  • 5:46
  • SENATE CANDIDATES DOING REALLY
  • 5:47
  • WELL AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN
  • 5:48
  • OPPONENTS.
  • 5:48
  • WE HAVE THE RIGHT ON A LOT OF
  • 5:55
  • THE ISSUES AND YOU SEE A LOT OF
  • 5:57
  • THESE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES,
  • 5:58
  • THEY ARE FLAWED AND OFTENTIMES
  • 5:59
  • DEEPLY FLAWED SO WHEN YOU PUT

  • 6:00
  • THAT CONTRAST AGAINST EACH
  • 6:01
  • OTHER, IT PUTS US IN A VERY
  • 6:02
  • GOOD POSITION.
  • 6:03
  • BUT WE WILL HAVE TO WORK HARD
  • 6:04
  • AT THE THING ABOUT OUR SENATE
  • 6:06
  • RACE, IT'S OUR BATTLEGROUND
  • 6:07
  • STATES, SO HAVING A STRONG
  • 6:13
  • SENATE CAMPAIGN ALSO HELPS,
  • 6:14
  • VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS AND HER
  • 6:15
  • RACE FOR THE PRESIDENCY, WE
  • 6:16
  • WILL BE HELPING EACH OTHER TO
  • 6:21
  • GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AND
  • 6:22
  • AS YOU KNOW, A MAJORITY IN THE
  • 6:23
  • SENATE IS ESSENTIAL WHEN IT
  • 6:24
  • COMES TO HELPING A PRESIDENT
  • 6:25
  • HARRIS WHEN IT COMES TO ALL OF
  • 6:30
  • HER APPOINTMENTS, THEY NEED
  • 6:31
  • ADVICE AND CONSENT.
  • 6:31
  • AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE
  • 6:32
  • JUDICIARY.
  • 6:33
  • WE NEED ONE THAT BELIEVES IN
  • 6:34
  • THE RULE OF LAW AND THAT'S WHY
  • 6:36
  • WE HAVE TO RING BACK OUR
  • 6:41
  • INCUMBENTS AND WE HAVE PICKUP
  • 6:42
  • OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL BUT IT'S
  • 6:43
  • ESSENTIAL FOR GOVERNING AND
  • 6:52
  • IT'S IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT
  • 6:53
  • HARRIS, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ALL
  • 6:54
  • IN AND LAST CYCLE, FOLKS DIDN'T
  • 6:55
  • THINK WE COULD DO IT.
  • 6:56
  • PEOPLE SAID GARY, YOU'VE GOT A

  • 7:02
  • TOUGH ROAD AND WE MADE HISTORY,
  • 7:03
  • WE HELD THE MAJORITY AND PICKED
  • 7:05
  • UP THE SEAT, FIRST TIME SINCE
  • 7:06
  • 1934 AND WE WILL DO IT AGAIN.
  • 7:07
  • WE WILL HOLD THIS MAJORITY AND
  • 7:09
  • MAKE SURE THAT KAMALA HARRIS
  • 7:10
  • HAS A GREAT TEAM IN WASHINGTON
  • 7:12
  • TO HAVE THE POSITIVE CHANGE
  • 7:13
  • THAT SHE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT
  • 7:14
  • AND THAT WE ARE SO PASSIONATE
  • 7:15
  • ABOUT.
  • 7:16
  • >> CHAIRMAN TO CHAIRMAN, THIS
  • 7:17
  • IS OUR CORNER.
  • 7:17
  • THIS IS THE TWO OF US TALKING.
  • 7:24
  • BETWEEN WITH THE CONGRESSWOMAN
  • 7:28
  • AND THE SENATOR JUST SAID, I
  • 7:29
  • JUST WANT TO READ SOMETHING TO
  • 7:31
  • YOU THAT I THINK IT'S
  • 7:36
  • FASCINATING.
  • 7:36
  • TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT REGARDING
  • 7:37
  • THE ELECTION IN 2024, WITH
  • 7:38
  • NEARLY 30% OF FLORIDA VOTERS
  • 7:42
  • NOT AFFILIATED WITH OTHER
  • 7:43
  • PARTIES, DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THAT
  • 7:43
  • IF THEY DEPLOYED AN ARMY OF
  • 7:45
  • GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE
  • 7:45
  • PHONE CALLS, KNOCK ON DOORS AND
  • 7:51
  • ENGAGE PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF
  • 7:51
  • SUPPORT, THEY CAN FLIP THE
  • 7:52
  • STATE OF FLORIDA IN NOVEMBER.
  • 7:56
  • THAT'S HOW MUCH THE LANDSCAPE

  • 8:02
  • HAS CHANGED IN JUST 30 DAYS IN
  • 8:04
  • THIS RACE.
  • 8:04
  • TALK TO US ABOUT, AS YOU ARE
  • 8:09
  • LOOKING AT DEPLOYING OUR
  • 8:10
  • RESOURCES, ARE YOU LOOKING AT A
  • 8:11
  • STRATEGY THAT WILL HAVE
  • 8:16
  • REPUBLICANS FIGHT ON TURF THAT
  • 8:17
  • THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT
  • 8:18
  • ON?
  • 8:18
  • AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, DEFENDING
  • 8:24
  • AND AGGRESSIVELY GOING AFTER
  • 8:24
  • SPACES WHERE, YOU KNOW YOU'VE
  • 8:30
  • GOT SOME STUFF YOU GOT TO
  • 8:33
  • DEFEND AS WELL, YOU KNOW THAT
  • 8:35
  • BUT WHEN YOU HEAR TALK LIKE
  • 8:36
  • THIS, THAT KIND OF TALKS TO THE
  • 8:37
  • CHANGE IN THE LANDSCAPE ON THE
  • 8:38
  • GROUND . DEMOCRATS IN STATES
  • 8:40
  • LIKE FLORIDA, GEORGIA, FOR
  • 8:41
  • EXAMPLE, NORTH CAROLINA . TALK
  • 8:44
  • ABOUT THAT.
  • 8:44
  • >> WELL YOU ALL KNOW, I AM --
  • 8:52
  • FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AND I GIVE JOE
  • 8:54
  • BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS CREDIT

  • 9:00
  • FOR THIS.
  • 9:05
  • THEY HAVE LEANED INTO INVESTING
  • 9:06
  • IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE
  • 9:07
  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
  • 9:08
  • PART OF HOW WE BEAT BACK THE
  • 9:09
  • RED WAVE IS WE BUILT AN
  • 9:10
  • INFRASTRUCTURE TO EQUIP THEM
  • 9:11
  • AND TO COORDINATE WITH HER
  • 9:12
  • SISTER COMMUNITIES AT THE DCCC
  • 9:13
  • AND THE DSC TO EQUIP THE
  • 9:14
  • GOVERNORS TO THE ABLE TO HAVE
  • 9:26
  • THAT GRASSROOTS OPERATION, TO
  • 9:27
  • WIN THE CLOSE ELECTION.
  • 9:28
  • WE'VE GOT AN AMAZING CHAIR IN
  • 9:29
  • NIKKI FREDA, THIS WEEKEND IN
  • 9:30
  • THE VILLAGES AND YOU KNOW THE
  • 9:31
  • VILLAGES, IT IS A RUBY RED,
  • 9:33
  • THERE ARE 500 GOLF COURSE
  • 9:34
  • SENIORS RIDING AROUND, AND THEY
  • 9:36
  • ARE WHITE, RIDING AROUND AND
  • 9:37
  • PROBABLY VOTED FOR TRUMP
  • 9:41
  • PREVIOUSLY SUPPORTING KAMALA
  • 9:42
  • HARRIS.
  • 9:42
  • I MEAN, I AM SEEING STUFF THAT
  • 9:44
  • I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
  • 9:44
  • WE HAVE NOW IN THIS COUNTRY, WE
  • 9:48
  • HAVE OVER 1100 STAFF ACROSS THE
  • 9:49
  • COUNTRY IN OUR BATTLEGROUND
  • 9:55
  • STATES.
  • 9:59
  • WE HAVE OVER 200 OFFICES ACROSS

  • 10:00
  • THE BATTLEGROUND STATES.
  • 10:01
  • WE ARE SUPPORTING ALSO THROUGH
  • 10:02
  • A RED STATE PROGRAM STATES THAT
  • 10:03
  • ARE NOT BATTLEGROUND BUT WE
  • 10:04
  • BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE INROADS
  • 10:08
  • THERE.
  • 10:08
  • THIS IS AN ENERGY ON THE GROUND
  • 10:17
  • THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN SINCE
  • 10:18
  • BARACK OBAMA IN 2008 AND I'M
  • 10:19
  • TELLING FOLKS, DON'T SLEEP ON
  • 10:20
  • FLORIDA, DON'T SLEEP ON NORTH
  • 10:21
  • CAROLINA BECAUSE WE ARE GOING
  • 10:22
  • TO HAVE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND
  • 10:25
  • TO WIN ONE OF THOSE TIGHT,
  • 10:26
  • CLOSE ELECTIONS.
  • 10:26
  • >> IT'S THE SAME THING I SAID
  • 10:28
  • TO THE PARTY IN 2010, DON'T
  • 10:33
  • SLEEP ON THESE STATES.
  • 10:34
  • DON'T SLEEP ON THESE RACES
  • 10:35
  • BECAUSE DESPITE WHAT FOLKS
  • 10:36
  • AROUND WASHINGTON MAY SAY
  • 10:36
  • EVERYTHING, WHO TYPICALLY DON'T
  • 10:37
  • KNOW HOW TO DO CAMPAIGN, THEY
  • 10:47
  • DON'T KNOW MUCH WITH WHAT YOU
  • 10:48
  • HAVE TO DO.
  • 10:49
  • THAT'S HOW YOU EVER A RED WAVE
  • 10:50
  • AND THAT'S HOW YOU WIN IN 2010.
  • 10:52
  • >> IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT SENATOR
  • 10:53
  • PETERS WAS SPEAKING TO, I KNOW
  • 10:54
  • THE STRATEGY FOR HOUSE AND
  • 10:55
  • SENATE RACES IS STILL TO
  • 10:59
  • LOCALIZE THOSE RACES BUT YOU

  • 11:00
  • ALL ARE HOPING TO BENEFIT FROM
  • 11:03
  • THE ENTHUSIASM AND
  • 11:04
  • CONGRESSWOMAN, THE FUNDRAISING
  • 11:04
  • FROM THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARM
  • 11:06
  • SPECIFICALLY IS REMARKABLE.
  • 11:10
  • THE DCCC OUTRAISED THE
  • 11:13
  • COUNTERPART BY $7 MILLION LAST
  • 11:15
  • QUARTER AND MORE THAN A DOZEN
  • 11:17
  • NONINCUMBENT DEMOCRATS MEANING
  • 11:18
  • NOT ALREADY IN OFFICE, BROUGHT
  • 11:28
  • IN MORE THAN $1 MILLION FROM
  • 11:29
  • APRIL THROUGH JUNE.
  • 11:30
  • WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE CASH
  • 11:32
  • ADVANTAGE?
  • 11:32
  • >> WE ARE PLAYING THE RACES ALL
  • 11:33
  • ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
  • 11:51
  • THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT
  • 11:52
  • DIFFERENT STATES.
  • 11:52
  • WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES IN
  • 11:53
  • ALABAMA AND LOUISIANA AND IOWA,
  • 11:54
  • WHERE WE ARE ON THE GROUND AND
  • 11:56
  • CAN FLIP SEATS TO HELP US TAKE
  • 11:57
  • BACK THE MAJORITY.
  • 11:58
  • SO, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE
  • 11:59
  • HAVE RESOURCES IN EVERY

  • 12:00
  • DISTRICT, NOT ONLY TO COMBAT
  • 12:01
  • THE DISINFORMATION AND ATTACKS
  • 12:02
  • THAT WILL COME AGAINST
  • 12:03
  • CANDIDATES BUT ALSO TO BE ON
  • 12:04
  • OFFENSE AND MAKE SURE WE CAN
  • 12:05
  • REMIND FOLKS WHAT REPUBLICANS
  • 12:06
  • STAND FOR.
  • 12:06
  • REMIND THEM ABOUT PROJECT 2025
  • 12:07
  • AND THE POLICIES THEY WANT TO
  • 12:08
  • PUT IN PLACE.
  • 12:09
  • AND MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS KNOW
  • 12:11
  • WE HAVE AUTHENTIC CANDIDATES
  • 12:11
  • WHO ACTUALLY WILL COME TO
  • 12:12
  • WASHINGTON TO GOVERN.
  • 12:13
  • PEOPLE WANT TO SEE GOVERNESS
  • 12:14
  • WORK AND WE HAVE FOLKS WHO ARE
  • 12:15
  • NOT INTERESTED IN GOVERNING,
  • 12:16
  • THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED TO
  • 12:17
  • HEAR ABOUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP
  • 12:21
  • ONCE THEM TO DO.
  • 12:22
  • OR DRESSING UP LIKE THEM AND
  • 12:30
  • FOLLOWING HIM AROUND.
  • 12:30
  • THAT'S THE STATE WE ARE IN.
  • 12:32
  • WE NEED TO USE THOSE RESOURCES.
  • 12:33
  • WE KNOW THAT WHEN PEOPLE HEAR
  • 12:34
  • OUR MESSAGE, WE WIN.
  • 12:39
  • >> SENATOR PETERS I WANT TO
  • 12:40
  • PICK UP ON SYMONE'S QUESTION AS
  • 12:41
  • IT RELATES TO THE U.S. SENATE
  • 12:42
  • AND THE NECESSITY TO LOCALIZE
  • 12:44
  • SOME OF THESE RACES, CANDIDATES
  • 12:56
  • LIKE SENATORS TESTER AND BROWN,
  • 12:57
  • THEY DO NEED TO DISTINGUISH
  • 12:59
  • THEMSELVES FROM THE NATIONAL
  • 12:59
  • PARTY BRAND.

  • 13:00
  • SO I WONDER HOW YOU COULD GIVE
  • THEM SPACE TO DO THAT WELL ALSO
  • TYING THEM TO THE LEGISLATIVE
  • ACCOMPANIMENTS OF THE BIDEN
  • ADMINISTRATION?
  • >> IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
  • THAT WE DO IT IN THE STATES.
  • WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BATTLEGROUND
  • STATES, OUR BATTLEGROUND IS
  • ALSO OUR STATES THAT ARE NOT
  • BATTLEGROUND FOR THE PRESIDENT.
  • THE STATE OF MONTANA IS NOT
  • LIKELY TO BE IN PLAY BUT JOHN
  • TESTER IS A STRONG CANDIDATE.
  • HE'S RUNNING AGAINST A HIGHLY
  • FLAWED OPPONENT AND HE KNOWS
  • HOW TO WIN RACES, THE SAME WITH
  • SHERROD BROWN IN OHIO.
  • HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN, HE IS
  • AUTHENTIC. AND IT IS ABOUT
  • LOCALIZING THESE RACES.
  • WE UNDERSTAND THAT'S TOUGHER TO
  • DO BUT THE WAY I LOOK AT IT AND
  • THE WAY I TALK TO CANDIDATES
  • AND THE WAY THAT SHERROD AND
  • JOHN OPERATE, THEY OPERATE NOT
  • AS A SENATOR OR CONGRESSPERSON,
  • THEY ARE RUNNING LIKE THEY ARE
  • THE MAYOR OF THE TOWN, WHAT IS
  • IT LOCALLY THAT'S IMPORTANT TO

  • 14:00
  • THE PEOPLE OF THAT COMMUNITY
  • AND WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE THAT
  • BOTH OF THEM FIGHT FOR MONTANA
  • AND FIGHT FOR OHIO, AND THAT'S
  • WHAT THEY PUT AT THE TOP OF THE
  • LIST, THEY ARE ABLE TO CONNECT
  • WITH FOLKS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY
  • AND IT IS ABOUT A GROUND
  • CAMPAIGN.
  • TALKING ABOUT THE GROUND AND
  • DOING IT IN TOUGH TURF, THAT IS
  • WHAT WE DID THE LAST CYCLE AND
  • FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DCCC
  • HISTORY, WE INVESTED MORE MONEY
  • ON THE GROUND THEN WE DID ON
  • TELEVISION AND MEDIA AND I
  • KNEW ALL OF THESE WOULD BE
  • BATTLEGROUND STATES AND I DON'T
  • THINK ONE EXTRA TV COMMERCIAL
  • OR FIVE EXTRA TV COMMERCIALS
  • WHEN YOU ARE BEING BOMBARDED BY
  • TV COMMERCIALS AT THE END OF
  • THE CAMPAIGN MATTERS.
  • IT'S ABOUT KNOCKING ON DOORS,
  • HAVING PEOPLE TALK TO THEIR
  • NEIGHBORS AND NEIGHBORS TALKING
  • TO NEIGHBOR
