Democrats are building momentum at a rapid pace – let’s keep this up!
Yesterday was such a historic day for Democrats.
Not only did we see my friend Cory Booker beat the record for the longest Senate speech on the floor – beating the racist Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of the Civil Rights Act – but we showed Elon Musk exactly what the American people think of him and his DOGE.
I can tell all of you are just as excited and inspired as I am. Democrats are on the rise, and we’re heading into 2026 with all the indicators pointed in the right direction.
However, a lot can happen in a year and a half. Trump will continue to hurt our allies, slash our civil liberties, and crush our economy – and we need to be there every step of the way to pick up the pieces and show the American people that we CAN and WILL continue standing up to Trump.
As Chair of the CBC, I’m ready to lead our membership to the frontlines in the fight against Trump – just like Sen. Booker did yesterday.
