“We could hold both these houses. But we have to say the right things,” Clinton said of the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, in which the Democratic Party has razor-thin majorities.
“And we have to note, the Republicans always close well. Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters about something. That’s what they did in 2021 when they made critical race theory sound worse than smallpox, and it wasn’t being taught in any public schools in America. They didn’t care. They just scare people. And at the end, the breakpoint in American politics is not much different than it was in the ’90s, that is, you still have to get those people,” Clinton continued.”
