From 1st video:
- "Only 35% of Democrats are optimistic about where their party's going"
- "Only 27% of Democrats approve of party leadership right now"
- "Last week Axios surveyed the 30 or so House Democrats who are 75 or older asking if they planned to run again & half of them said that they were. The base is not happy with that."

From 2nd video:
- "One of the few bright spots for Democrats in this last election was Senator Reuben Gallego...and he seems to understand that to reconnect with these voters.. it's about a very simple economic message and more importantly the sort of flexibility and confidence to deliver that message at all times in plain speak on social media and not have this consultified, stiff feeling that so many Democrats who've been around since the '90s seem to have."
