The speaker believes Democrats must build a long-term political infrastructure to compete effectively in elections at all levels.

“We need to be thinking about, just to your point, long term. How do we win this election and set up the infrastructure to keep winning for the next decade.”

The speaker encourages citizens to engage in the 2026 midterm elections to hold the current Republican Congress accountable.

“You will start voting for the 2026 election. Time to step up. Time to change this Congress. Time to hold them accountable.”
