Warren calls on Democrats to resist: 'Republicans do not have majority support in this country'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday told Democrats to stiffen their spines, reminding them that "the majority of voters supported Democratic Senate candidates over Republicans ones, and the majority supported a Democratic presidential candidate over a Republican one."
The remark came as Warren took to the Senate floor to oppose a bill originally intended to spur medical innovation but which she now says has been "hijacked" by the pharmaceutical industry. The bill, known as the 21st Century Cures Act, has reportedly attracted the attention of "more than 1,455 lobbyists representing 400 companies." That means lots of money is at stake.
"I do not care how many campaign contributions they dump into Congressional pockets," Warren said in a spirited speech, "I do not care how painful they can make life for politicians who oppose them, I will not be their lackey."
But Warren’s call to abandon the legislation was wrapped in a broader appeal to Democrats to gird for a fight as Republicans prepare to take full control of the government even though both the senate and the executive lack the support of a majority of American voters.
