Key Quotes:
- “Our job in the next 176 days at American Bridge is to remind voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the states that we think are the path of least resistance to 270, [that] the chaos and disorder was under a Trump administration. You know, Trump made good on his threat to ban abortion. He made good on his threat to overturn Roe v. Wade. We have to hold him accountable every day.”
- “I think the memory gap that you all mentioned earlier is real and I understand why voters would want to forget the chaos and disorder of a Trump administration. But I think when you look at powerful folks like Anna in battleground states, they’re talking about three issues that Democrats have won a lot of elections on: abortion, democracy and freedom. And I think Trump is, if you wake up and you’re Donald Trump today, it’s not only bad news because you’re in a courtroom, but it’s bad news because those three issues, you were the poster boy for the wrong side of those.”
- “I think these people are really heroes. You know, we started this project last June to find these folks. And, you know, they’re of and from the community. They’re unscripted and they’re willing to speak out. And when you talk to them about why they want to speak out, they understand that people are tired. They want to forget the chaos of Trump. But they’re fearful of what would be [going] forward. And so thank God that they’re out speaking their mind. And I think for abortion it’s one piece, for democracy. They realize that Trump is like gasoline on a fire, and they don’t want that in their local community.”
- “And lastly, on freedom, they don’t think of what Republicans will take away next. You know, they won’t accept the election results. Why would we think that they’re not going to take away more of our rights?”
