00:00Last night, the people of Wisconsin sent a clear message to Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Doge.
00:09Democracy is not for sale.
00:13There is only one way to interpret what happened last night.
00:17It was a political warning shot from the American people.
00:21Just 70 days into Trump 2.0, Americans are tired of the chaos.
00:28They are tired of Elon Musk attacking Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare.
00:34And I want to be clear about something else.
00:37Yesterday was a sign Democrats' message is resonating.
00:43When Democrats shine a light on the fact that Republicans are taking vital programs away from the middle class
00:51simply to cut taxes for the ultra-rich, the public doesn't like it.
00:57When we shine a light on Republican attacks on Medicaid, on Social Security, on veterans' health care
01:04simply to cut taxes for the rich, Americans listen and they're aghast at what they see.
01:11That is one of the main reasons that the results in Wisconsin came in as resoundingly as they did.
