Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie?
Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care.
They are the new face of the opposition.

Before Trump says a word tonight, let me remind you of a truth you'll want to keep top of mind as he spews his garbage a bit later:
Biden did not "cause" ANYTHING that Trump will be blaming him for.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
