[0:00] Our coalition moved as one body, House
[0:03] and Senate, to define the issues that
[0:06] Americans cared most about. We talked to
[0:08] Americans. We said, "What is on your
[0:10] minds?"
[0:12] And of course, number one, cost.
[0:16] The high cost of living,
[0:19] how difficult it was to raise a family
[0:23] and do the things you wanted to make
[0:25] sure that you'd have a good life and
[0:27] your kids would have a good life.
[0:29] And second, they talked about Trump's
[0:32] corruption.
[0:33] We know he was the most corrupt

[1:18] they believed in their country. And as
[1:21] they campaigned, the American people saw
[1:23] that that these were good people who
[1:25] really cared and we have an amazing crop
[1:30] of new senators
[1:33] and that is great.
[1:36] So what we have now seen and this is
[1:38] really important is a generational
[1:41] remake of the Senate map that is going
[1:44] to change America not only now but on
[1:47] into the future.
[1:49] When you have Democratic senators who
[1:52] are intent on working their states and
[1:54] showing people of their state what
[1:58] Democrats are really about, whether it's
