Here & Now

Why do you think you can beat the incumbent senator? Well, you know, it's really not about whether you beat the incumbent senator now. What it's about is how the people of the state want to be represented. And what I've done is taken the time to go out last year and this year and visit all 72 counties both years. And I have a pretty clear sense that middle income and working families feel like they're not really getting a fair deal in terms of the hard work they do and being able to pay their bills. So the question for people will be on November 8, who do you think is going to be more likely to do something about that. I'm very confident that people will have confidence in the fact that I will fight to raise the minimum wage. That I will fight for paid family leave. And to do something about the cost of prescription drugs, and especially, the cost of higher education and student loans. Senator Johnson has a, frankly, a very poor record on those issues. And he votes almost every time with the corporations, and the billionaires and the multi-millionaires, people like himself. So people get to decide, and they'll make the decision about who wins.
