you. So tonight, tonight we don't celebrate a victory for any one political party. We celebrate a victory for anyone left, right, or center struggling with the skyrocketing cost of living from gas to groceries to housing. Anyone who's sick of the tariffs, the endless war, the tax breaks for big corporations paid for by cuts to your health care. Anyone who's fed up with the most corrupt president in our history who has failed in his way of governing. And anyone who knows that we can do so much better if we work together. So we know this was a hard fought victory tonight. It was made even harder by the tens and tens of millions of dollars that poured into New Hampshire from Donald Trump, Elon Musk and corporate special interests who are just fine. Who are just fine with the way things are going right now. They threw money, attack ads and outright lies at us every day for months. But we beat them anyway, didn't we?
