Kennedy focused on the SAVE America Act and the failure of Senate Majority Leader John Thune to move the legislation forward. He made clear that he was prepared to remain in Washington until senators finished the job voters sent them there to do. Kennedy argued that lawmakers should remain in Washington, skip the recess if necessary, and handle the business sitting directly in front of them. That judgment explains why the left keeps relying on softer branding and emotional appeals instead of openly defending its agenda. Americans can recognize a radical program even when Democrats package it as compassion and cover it with promises about fairness.
