00:00Thank you, Leader. Two of your more vulnerable members are now running for Senate, Congresswoman

00:06Andy Craig and Congressman Chris Pappas. And I know that Cook Political Report moved

00:11Andy Craig's district more in favor of Republicans. Do you see this as a potential liability for

00:17Democrats next year, especially given the slim margins and you guys needing to flip

00:21the House?

00:22President Trump attacked a member of your caucus over the weekend, Jasmine Crockett,

00:29do you intend to seek increased protections or security for members of your caucus who

00:35are facing threats?

00:36I didn't see President Trump's attacks. I haven't had an opportunity to talk to Jasmine, but of

00:42course we'll make sure that she has all the protection both locally and in Washington,

00:46D.C. that she needs.
