Pete Buttigieg says America is pissed, and why wouldn’t we be? Premiums are skyrocketing. Hospitals are closing. Families are paying more for less care while Republicans protect the wealthy. They created this crisis.
Voters can take away their power.

Donald Trump is unfit for office. Full stop.
Let’s be clear: pushing for the death of the very people you swore to protect is dangerous, reckless, and a betrayal of your oath.

Trump ran on lowering prices. Now most Americans blame him for them.
