Stephen: "How does the Democratic Party meet this moment?"
Senator Elissa Slotkin via Pete:
Focus.
Don't tune out.
Get/stay engaged.
Hold elected officials accountable.
Organize.

Strategically, hold fast to the values that make us Democrats.

I have no doubt that he has a bright future, from what I've seen and heard, I'd confidently vote for him for anything. And the same for Elissa Slotkin, her Democratic Response was as perfect as they come!
