Eric Swalwell on Zohran Mamdani: ‘People Want To Be Able to Afford to Dream’

EXCERPT:

SWALWELL: "People want to be able to afford to dream, and they want a government that bets on them. So if you‘re going to work hard and bet on yourself, your government, your country should bet on you, bet on your kids' education as AI threatens to change everything, bet on your health care and make sure it‘s affordable, bet on your career and make sure that if you work hard, you do better and dream bigger. And frankly, stylistically — and I‘m not a socialist and I don‘t associate myself with what he has said about the Jewish people — but stylistically, he was always on and he was everywhere. And I‘ve been encouraging my colleagues, we have to be in more spaces, more places, and always be on in the way that we communicate. And also, when you‘re always on, you‘re always honest. And that clearly came through."
