Heaven forbid, if we lose this majority or whatever, I don’t know what my next chapter of life is,
We are focused on getting unprecedented resources to the Districts that will decide the majority,
It’s guaranteed, probably on the first day — first or second day,
I commit that Congress will work through it and find consensus on that, like I have to do everything else,
To have them all together and assembled to talk about this and build consensus today was a very important first step in what we are all trying to achieve together,
We do not need a moratorium. We do not need to jump in and hyper-regulate this, because we'll lose the race to China,
