- Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) at a campaign event calling for all Republicans to leave New York

- Veteran Joey Jones, who lost his legs in Afghanistan, tweeting about President Biden’s plan to cancel student loan debt

For that amount of money, you could fund free Pre-K for every 3- and 4-year-old for 10 years. You’d do a lot more good for poor people, communities of color and the underprivileged by doing Pre-K.

So just be vigilant.”
