Buttigieg: “This isn’t happening because of Covid. The gas prices aren’t happening because Putin started a war. Gas prices are happening because Donald Trump started a war.
Mortgage rates are over 7% because the Trump administration decided to give away 1 trillion in tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest people in the country, blew up the deficit while doing so.

Gina Hinojosa walks out on stage and begins by addressing her two young children:
HINOJOSA: In the past year. You have been so supportive. You have been so supportive and gracious, and I am so proud of you.
Even though neither you or Matteo ever asked for this, my fight comes from my deep love for the both of you and my desire to make this world safer and better for the both of you.
You have been so understanding and encouraging, and I thank you both so much
EL-SAYED: And to all the parents who struggled to explain to their kids why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray, let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.

Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.
Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.
The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.
