It’s sad.
I want to share something with you as a person who sees it up close:
One of the most jarring things I’ve learned since coming to Congress is that for so many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the cruelty really is the point.
In many cases, they believe the harm they’re inflicting — whether it’s gutting Medicaid and SNAP or targeting vulnerable communities — is aimed at people who don’t vote for them. But the truth is, they’re hurting their own constituents, and they don’t seem to care.
What makes it worse is how much of it is for show.
Behind closed doors, they act one way — and they go out, put on this MAGA character to suck up to daddy and get clicks and attention on social media.
It’s sad.
Because Congress is a place of such profound importance, and there’s a profound potential to do good. It’s why I came here — to govern, lead with compassion, and fight for my neighbors in Delaware. To roll up my sleeves and stay focused on making life easier for working people, even when the other side treats cruelty as a strategy and public office as a show.
If you believe that matters — if you want to keep this kind of leadership in Congress — I’m asking for your support today. Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can?

Thank you for being in this with me.
