"Part of what I wanted to come on the show tonight, to say, Lawrence, is:

Democrats, we have got to get in formation.

Republicans are in a tailspin because of Donald Trump.

However. They are IN FORMATION on voter suppression. This is very, very dangerous.

Over the next decade, and since this just happened, multiple states -- Georgia, Arizona -- whites go to the minority of the population. The demographic change of this country where whites are on track to go into the minority population by 2045 -- not that far off -- is accelerated in the Sun Belt.

And so we have the Senate dynamics going into redistricting and the Census undercount, and these Senate races where if we don't push back hard on voter suppression --

and that means Federal action this year
-- on pre-clearance, on getting the states like GA that have a racist history, and not just a history, a racist NOW-- need to have to pre-clear their voting changes with the Department of Justice.
-- We have automatic voting universally and
-- all the changes of the For The People Act.

Democrats in Congress need to get in formation and give Biden the cabinet that he needs so we can get moving

This is an existential threat to the future our democracy, which was just attacked at the Capitol last month. So we feel incredible urgency here. Because the voter suppression here is just a whole new level of egregious.

Without federal action ... it's time to act. It's time for Demcorats nationally to understand how pressing this crisis is -- with 253 bills... and we're going to see even more in the next month."
