In 2017, I warned we were approaching a crossroads.
00:04
Our democracy was weakened by government dysfunction and the constant pull to the extremes by both
00:09
political parties.
00:10
I promised I would do my best to fix it.
00:14
To protect and defend our Constitution.
00:17
To listen to others without judging.
00:19
To focus on what unites us.
00:21
And to make Americans' lives better.
00:24
Through listening, understanding, and compromise, we delivered tangible results that make America
00:29
safer, stronger, and more prosperous.
00:33
Yet, despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs
00:39
and safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners.
00:46
These solutions are considered failures, either because they're too much or not nearly enough.
00:51
It's all or nothing.
00:53
The outcome, less important than beating the other guy.
00:57
The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic.
01:00
Attacking your opponents on cable news or social media.
01:04
Compromise is a dirty word.
01:06
We've arrived at that crossroad, and we chose anger and division.
01:11
I believe in my approach, but it's not what America wants right now.
01:16
I love Arizona, and I am so proud of what we've delivered.
01:21
Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done,
01:26
I will lead the Senate at the end of this year.
01:28
Thank you.
