00:00Why do you think AOC and Senator Bernie Sanders have not endorsed you?
00:04I have so much respect for the Senator and the Congresswoman,
00:07and they are working tirelessly to make sure that we can flip Congress and the Senate
00:12and get Democrats' wins in the midterms.
00:14I look forward to conversations with them about that, too.
00:17Does it show that they don't think you're able to win this battle against the state?
00:21You know, a gubernatorial race is different from federal elections,
00:24and I think that we are focused on making sure to reach every single voter that we can
00:29up until those polls close, and that's what we're focusing on right now.
00:35Come August 12th, if you wait, how hard do we do it to be within a month of Democrats
00:39who can head to November?
00:40I look forward to being in community and building unity,
00:43and I feel very confident that we'll be able to show folks that Democrats are coming together
00:49to make sure that Democrats win down and up the ballot this November.
00:53What do you say to critics from within your own party who fear that if you win the primary,
00:57you're able to drag them down because of them is down now in the crowds?
01:03There's—change can be scary, but when I get scared, I look to the voters who remind me every day
01:09that not only are we deserving of change, but they get to be a part of making that change.
01:15This election belongs to the voters, and we'll let the voters decide.
01:19You just said this election is not about the tweets when you were talking to the campuses earlier today,
01:23but it's got so much attention. I know you've acknowledged that in the past.
01:28What do you say to voters who see those comments and the back and forth about them
01:32and say it's either disqualifying or that, in your clarification, you're trying to have it both ways?
01:36What's disqualifying is Tom Tiffany still will not say who won the 2020 election.
01:41What's disqualifying is that he has voted to send tax dollars to forever wars,
01:45for gas prices going up, for grocery stores growing up.
01:47He doesn't care about Wisconsinites. He cares about the Trump administration.
01:51He will put Trump first, and Wisconsin deserves a governor that will put Wisconsinites first.
01:56What do you make a governor? You were saying in recent days you have focused too much on the tweets,
02:00and David Crowley is the one who's gotten things done.
02:04You know, service industry workers, I'm proud to be one, and we're built different.
02:08I said we've held over 320 events since we started this campaign.
02:12We've locked in over 50,000 miles just in the last couple of days.
02:18We've done 24 cities in four days.
02:22I knew as a wild card, as an outsider, I would have to out-hustle votes.
02:27And what that has allowed us to do is actually listen to more voters,
02:31to meet more voters, and make sure that voters know that they have a fighter in Francesca Hong and our
02:37movement.
02:38Thank you all. All right, guys. Thank you so much.
02:40Speaking of AOC, can I ask one more question?
02:43I'm not sure if you saw, but she commented, some of you along the lines of,
02:47that woke 1.0 was crazy back then.
02:51She seems to imply that the more modern woke mentality is more moderate.
02:54Do you agree with that?
02:57I think more and more people across the state and this country,
03:00they are opening their eyes to an economy that is deeply rigged against working class people.
03:07So we're going to respond to make sure that we talk about the solutions
03:11and how we can deliver for working class people by taxing the ultra-rich,
03:15ensure that we have a moratorium on data centers,
03:18that we're raising wages, fighting for universal child care,
03:21and that we fully fund our public schools.
03:23That's what we want more people to become a way to,
03:25that these things are possible, and our campaign, we make better possible.
