Roy Cooper is the leader North Carolinians need - and deserve - in this moment. I'm proud to support him in his run for Senate and to have joined him in Charlotte recently.

I had a good time talking to students at UNC Charlotte with More Perfect University this weekend. Thanks to everybody who showed up on a Sunday ready to ask tough questions and engage in conversation.

This is the energy we need 15 days out from Election Day! It was great to see so many Virginians show up to support Tom Perriello, Shannon Taylor, Elaine Luria, and Rep. Jennifer McClellan this afternoon. Let’s keep going through the finish line!

North Carolina deserves justices who are dedicated to upholding the law. That's why I'm proud to support @anitaearls.bsky.social in her campaign for reelection. Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to knock on doors in support of Anita and Democrats up and down the ballot.

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

Chasten and I are heartbroken by the news coming out of Bend. We are keeping the families of those killed in this shooting, and the entire Silver Rail Elementary community, in our prayers.

The president’s tariffs and Iran war are costing thousands of dollars per household. All this is on the ballot right now. We have the power to vote out his enablers and change what it’s like to live in America. Use it!

$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.

The Iran War is costing Americans $2,000 per household according to analysis by Moody's Analytics and Brown University.

Hoosiers are fired up! Thank you to everybody who came out yesterday afternoon in Schererville. Together, we are going to send Rep. Frank Mrvan back to Congress and elect Scott Houldieson to Indiana's State Senate.

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

I was delighted to join Attorney General Aaron Ford, Rep. Steven Horsford, and Sandra Jauregui in Las Vegas to meet with some of Nevada’s young leaders and hear their stories.

As Transportation Secretary, I could always count on a Congressional Republican to take credit for an infrastructure win that they had voted against. That's the type of behavior that makes people cynical about politics - but it doesn't have to be that way.

Thanks to everyone - of all ages - who showed up on a Saturday to knock on doors and make sure our excellent Democratic candidates win up and down the ballot this November.

Feeling energized and hopeful after joining Congressman Chris Pappas, Stefany Shaheen, and Cinde Warmington to rally in Rochester last night. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their Friday to join us.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line. For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.

If I said we have a broken political system, it'd be the least memorable thing I said all day. We all know it. We all say it. The question is: Why do we act like it isn't? It can't go on like this.
