PRIORITY IS.

LISTENING FOR IS
HOW THEY ARE %

ACROSS THE %
AISLE. %

A LOT OF PEOPLE %
WERE FEELING IT. %
I THINK IN THIS %
EXPERIENCE, %
UNDER PRESIDENT %

COMPARISON TO %
BECAUSE WE CAN %
JUST DO IT, %
PROBABLY 10 %
POINT, THE MAJOR %
THINGS THAT %
TRUMP HAS DONE, %
TACKLING LABOR %
AND THE %
PROTECTIONS AND %
STACKED IT %
AGAINST WHAT %
PRESIDENT OBAMA %
AND JOE BIDEN %
ARE TRYING TO DO %
AND DID DURING
THE %
DEMONSTRATION.

BEEN AFFECTED BY

KALEIDOSCOPE OF %
EMOTIONS. %

THAT WAS IN %
2008. %
WHEN BIDEN WAS %
ON THE TICKET %
WITH BARACK
OBAMA. %
SO THE %
DEMOCRATIC PARTY %
HERE, THE HEAD %
OF THAT PARTY %
TELLS ME THAT %
THEY ARE %
OPTIMISTIC. %
THEY ARE %
CAUTIOUSLY %
OPTIMISTIC THAT %
THEY CAN RE-%
CREATE SOME OF %
THE 2008 MAGIC %
AGAIN BUT THEY %
ARE GOING TO %
HAVE TO CONVINCE %
SOME HE %
DEMOGRAPHICS %
SOME OF WHICH %
ARE ACTUALLY %
TRADITIONALLY
BLUE VOTERS. %
I’M TALKING UNIT
WORKERS WHO HAVE %
VOTED FOR TRUMP %
IN 2016 AFTER %
HAVING VOTED FOR
OBAMA OR OTHER
THIRD PARTY.
AFRICAN-AMERICAN %
VOTERS WHO DID %
NOT TURN OUT IN %
2016 LIKE YOU % HEARD FROM. %
HEARD FROM. %
ON TOP OF THAT,
THEY ARE ALSO %
GOING TO HAVE TO %
CHIP AWAY AT %
SOME OF THE %
MODERATE %
REPUBLICAN VOTE %
IN KENT COUNTY %
AND IN OTHER %
COUNTIES LIKE %
THIS. %
AND THERE IS AN %
INTERESTING %
OPPORTUNITY %
THERE, AS YOU %
HEARD, THE %
RIMAN, THE WOMAN %
WHO TALKED ABOUT %
HER DAUGHTER %
GETTING COVERED %
THERE, SHE HAS %
BEEN A LIFELONG
CONSERVATIVE. %
SHE CALLED %
HERSELF A, %
QUOTE, REPULSE %
REPUBLICAN %
BECAUSE SHE IS %
SO FRUSTRATED %
WITH THE %
LEADERSHIP AND %
VOTERS LIKE HER %
ARE GOING TO BE %
WATCHING CLOSELY %
THIS WEEK TO %

THAT WOMAN WHO %
HAD DAUGHTERS
WHO GOT COVERED % IN THEIR EARLY
IN THEIR EARLY
30s.
ONE OF HER %
DOCTORS STILL %
CAN’T WALK UP %
THE STAIRS. %
ANOTHER ONE OF %
THE VOTERS %
THERE, WHEN I %
FIRST MET HIM, %
HE WAS STAUNCHLY %
IN TRUMP’S %
CORNER. %
WAS VERY MUCH %
PLANNING TO VOTE %
FOR HIM AGAIN IN %
NOVEMBER. %
SINCE THAN, %
SINCE HE HAS %
WATCH THE WAY %
THE PERSON HAS %
HANDLED THE %
PANDEMIC, HE HAS %
BACKED AWAY FROM %
THAT SUPPORT %
LITTLE BIT. %
HE SAID HE %
WISHES THERE HAD %
BEEN A NATIONAL %
MASK MANDATE. %
HE WANTED THE %
PRESIDENT TO %
TAKE THIS MORE %
SERIOUSLY. %
THAN, OF COURSE, %
YOU HAVE ALL OF %
THE ECONOMIC %
IMPACT FROM THIS %
AS WELL. %
EVERYONE IS %
FEELING IT. %
IN DIFFERENT %
WAYS. %
AND SO IT IS %
HEADING HOME BUT %
IT IS HITTING %
PEOPLE’S %
POCKETS. %
IT IS HITTING %
PEOPLE’S %
FAMILIES. %
AND IT IS ALSO %
PUT HEALTH CARE %
IN THE SPOTLIGHT %
SO A LOT OF THE %
VOTERS I TALKED %
TO SAY THEY WANT %
TO HEAR A %
HEALTHCARE PLAN %
BECAUSE THEY ARE %
SAYING %
OUTRAGEOUS BILLS %
THEY ARE HEARING %
FROM THEIR %
NEIGHBORS. %
THEIR FRIENDS AND%
NEIGHBORS WHO %
WERE %
HOSPITALIZED WHO %
CAME HOME TO A
NUMBER THAT
FRANKLY %
TERRIFIED THEM %
SO THEY WANT TO %
HEAR A REAL PLAN %
ON HEALTH CARE %
NOW MORE THAN %
EVER.
