Diana DeGette: “These are real kids. These are real families who were forcibly torn apart and they were kept apart by our Government.”

I feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that’s what they care about.

I want to congratulate Melat Kiros for her victory last night, and I want to wish her all the best in her future.

If I could pass Medicare-for-All unilaterally in the minority, I would do it, because I’m an original co-sponsor of that bill. But the frustration people are feeling is with the whole system.

All of these radicals who are coming to the House, thinking they’re going to be able to pass a very broad bill like Medicare-for-All right away, they’re going to run into a brick wall immediately.
