we are now in the 38th day of a government shutdown. That means that Federal employees all over this country who have to feed their families are not getting paychecks. It means that air traffic controllers are forced to work crazy hours…

All across this country, people are sick and tired of seeing the billionaire class get richer and richer, and the billionaire class controlling to a significant degree both political parties. What Zohran Mamdani is showing is that a…

has got to mean something

The Democrats now are winning because they're standing with working people.

They’ll leave out the hard truths: Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment are losing relevance, AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby have become toxic forces in Democratic politics, voters are fed up with the gerontocracy and political…

When you cave, you lose.

If the Democrats cave on this, I think it would be a betrayal to millions and millions of working families who want them to stand up and protect their health care benefits.

If he wins, the message goes all over this country: You can stand up to the oligarchs, we can start electing members of Congress and mayors and governors who stand with the working class.

Starving children will put pressure on members of Congress? Well, that’s a good moral position.

Let me tell you something else. At a moment when Americans are extremely distressed about where we are as a nation, economically and politically, a victory here in New York will give hope and inspiration to people throughout our country…

Please do everything you can to work with Zohran to make him and his administration the best in the history of New York.

This election is taking place when we have an administration in Washington which every day is moving us toward an authoritarian society, undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.

I personally think he is an excellent candidate.

This is a guy who served four terms in combat. He was a Marine, four tours of duty.

We’re here because we love America.

The American experiment is in danger under Trump but insisted, 'We the people will rule.'

It is in danger when we have a president who wants more and more power in his own hands and in the hands of his fellow oligarchs.

We have a country that is falling apart!

it would be a really sad state of affairs to have to spend millions of dollars on a divisive primary. We should be focusing on beating Susan Collins, and Platner can do that.

I mention Gaza in virtually every speech. And without exception, whether you’re doing it in Viroqua, Wisconsin; Los Angeles, California; Newport, Vermont—wherever you’re doing it—it is almost always a standing response.

The Democratic Party no longer even can dream of saying to you, you know, 'Mary Smith won. You may not like her politics, but she’s the Democratic nominee.'

It's disappointing that some Democratic leaders are urging Governor Mills to run. We need to focus on winning that seat & not waste millions on an unnecessary & divisive primary.

They don’t even understand it, John. It’s not their world.

If your question is, 'Is it conceivable that good people can take over the Democratic Party and make it a working-class party?'—that’s a possibility.

They’re way out of touch with where ordinary people are.
