Well, they do have a mandate, a clear mandate. And, you know, this election was clearly a repudiation of Donald Trump and his failed economic policies. He clearly didn't get the message, by the way, from Tuesday night's ass kick. When he decided to appoint Stephen Miller as, you know, his chief of staff, they're doubling down on the failed strategies that led to this moment. But let me be really clear, what they also did on Tuesday night is there was a massive embrace of Democrats running across the country who ran on an affordability agenda, who ran on saving healthcare in this country, who ran on taking on this corrupt and rigged system that only benefits the wealthy, the well -connected, and the powerful at the expense of working people. That was a message that clearly resonated with voters.
