Elizabeth Warren urges Democrats to get 'aggressive' against Republicans after Senate triumph
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling on her fellow Democrats to be"aggressive" and put Republicans on the defensive now that her party has secured the Senate for two more years.
The so-called red wave failed to materialize on Tuesday, allowing for several Democratic victories in races that were projected to be either close or swing red. Democrats secured a majority in the Senate on Saturday night after Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto won her narrow race against Republican challenger Adam Laxalt and Sen. Mark Kelly defeated Republican Blake Masters.
She chastised"lobbying-friendly Democrats" who blocked the Biden administration's agenda to assist working families, such as cutting housing and child care costs and plans to reverse the Trump administration's"tax giveaways." She also attributed several Democrats' successes to campaign platforms that focused heavily on protecting abortion rights and democracy while also supporting popular economic plans.
