McCaskill to Dems: It’s Time to ‘Pivot and Punch’ and ‘Forget About the Top Number’

TRANSCRIPT:

McCASKILL: "It’s not a good night. And I think we can try to dress it up, we can try to take it out, but it’s not a good night. And here’s what I’m most afraid of. I am begging my friends in the United States Senate, I’m begging all the Democrats on Capitol Hill, do not spend days or minutes even trying to blame someone for what happened tonight, you know, whose fault was it, why weren’t the bills signed, Joe Biden could have done more... It’s time to pivot and punch. They got a deal today on reducing prescription drug prices in this country that will be huge. They are on the precipice of passing legislation. Forget about the top number. Look at what it’s going to do for women in this country, especially women with children that need childcare, that want universal pre-K. And I think we have an opportunity to turn this around for next fall, but not if we spend the next three weeks or month trying to figure out who to blame."
