EXCERPT:
VAN HOLLEN: “The short answer is at least for some time Democrats did not see the party in Washington fighting back more strongly against Donald Trump and his attacks on our democracy, on his failure to bring down prices. But also Democrats do need to provide a better alternative to Donald Trump. It cannot only be about going after Donald Trump, it needs to be about presenting alternatives. In fact, I'm working on some proposals right now on the tax front to increase taxes on the wealthiest and make sure that middle-class families, working-class families get relief. So I think we need to do more than just talk about these issues, we need to put forward clear plans that tell people where we are.”
