Elizabeth Warren Spells Out What Democrats Must Do ‘With Urgency’ Before Trump Takes Power
The Democratic senator urged Democrats to make the most of their limited time left in control of the Senate and White House.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Thursday unveiled her plan for Democrats “to fight back” following Donald Trump’s decisive election win.
In an essay published by Time magazine, Warren detailed how lawmakers must “fight every fight in Congress,” Trump must be taken on “in the courts” and everyone should “focus on what each of us can do.”
Warren concluded, though, by saying that “Democrats currently in office must work with urgency.”
“While still in charge of the Senate and the White House, we must do all we can to safeguard our democracy,” she wrote. Warren urged Pentagon leaders to “issue a directive now reiterating that the military’s oath is to the Constitution.”
And Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) must “use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President,” she added.
