A political party that's morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people.

I mean, I think we made a fundamental decision to really not be the Republican Party anymore, but to be this banner carrier for Trumpism, for a specific individual and his whims and desires, and to be the MAGA party. And what happened last night was such a total rejection of Trumpism and MAGA that really that party now no longer exists as a functional political movement.

I mean, too much of what you have seen from Republican governance the last few years is really seemed geared more towards entertainment. And we need -- this isn't professional wrestling. This is governance. So we have to be serious. We have to be talking about pocketbook issues, not reflecting pools and arches. We have to be meeting people where they are.
