Democratic candidates won three high-profile races in part by
championing a care agenda. In New York City, Zohran Mamdani won his
mayoral race on the bold vision of publicly-funded child care for every
New Yorker. In New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill secured her gubernatorial win
after championing the Child Care for Every Community Act, which caps
family costs and raises wages for care workers. And in Virginia, Abigail Spanberger clinched the governor’s mansion on a campaign that named affordable child care and paid family and medical leave as essential to helping families make ends meet.

These victories, in locales and states with varying political
demographics, are proof of what many families have known for years: That
the United States’ affordability crisis is, at its core, a care crisis.

Mamdani’s message to New Yorkers was simple: Care is a public good, not
a do-it-yourself job. Across the river, Sherrill made the same case,
showing that investing in care supports both families and the economy.
In Virginia, where families pay an average of $30,000 a year for two
children in child care, Spanberger tapped into bipartisan frustration
over waitlists and unlivable costs.

Many civilized countries in this world provide for free or affordable healthcare, childcare, and senior's care. Trump is rolling out a plan
‘PAY OR DIE’, he is a uncivilized animal, to be specific a scavenging
hyena that will rip away what you already had.

His problem is he keeps falling short trying to measure up to Obama.
