This is high stakes

My job is to make sure we’re always ready to meet the moment. John, This is a high-stakes race -- and that means every moment counts. We can't let our extremist opponent and his dishonest tactics gain momentum. We know he would just use PA-08's seat to support Trump and push a far…
