the border, in the grocery store, on the streets. Now, we have a huge opportunity because he is not restoring order. He is bringing chaos of his own. But we can't rely on that to win. We've got to make sure that voters don't think that we're completely out of touch with how they live their lives, with their values, and what they believe is important.

So we can't simply minimize their fears about immigration or about crime. And we can't talk to them about the economy and just say, look, the macroeconomic numbers are great when many people are living right close to the edge and just trying to keep body and soul together. And I think that is where Democrats fell short as a party, not individual candidates, but as a party.

And that's where we must improve.

Well, some of that is contrast. And I think what we must do is make clear that what Trump is doing now is deeply unreasonable. And as Senator Slotkin pointed out last night, I think very effectively. the kinds of reforms that he promised might be good, but the kinds of cuts that he's bringing are not.

Instead of a scalpel, Musk is literally bringing a chainsaw to the federal government and cutting things that nobody voted to cut. Nobody went to the polls and voted to stop research in Alzheimer's or cancer. Nobody wanted to cut the park service employees that clean the bathrooms or air traffic controllers or veterans who are trying to help other veterans in crisis. No one voted for that.

And Democrats must make sure that people understand that that's what they're getting in the second Trump term. So setting the contrast is vital. And then talking about the issues that people care about in ways that they can really relate two, I think is also very important, which is, again, why I thought Senator Slotkin's response was quite good.

She talked about the economy in very realistic and very simple terms, and we've got to keep that up.

We're never going to be unified the way Republicans are. I mean, they've kind of become cultish. They just leapt to their feet and cheered no matter what Trump said last night, including when he was making absurd and insulting comments about one of their colleagues. So, no, we're never going to have that kind of slavish uniformity that Republicans under Trump have got.
