"She's fearless, rooted in working-class communities, and unafraid to take on both MAGA extremism and corporate power."
"And I'm going to say what too many politicians won't: the system is rigged, the obscenely wealthy are profiting from it, and working people deserve more than scraps,"
"Now more than ever, we need a political home for people who are ready to fight back against Trump's corruption and cruelty, and the corporate politics that made him possible."
Summer Lee frames her agenda around elevating working-class voices, calling the system rigged and accusing the obscenely wealthy of profiting while working people get scraps. The Working Families Party praises Lee as fearless, rooted in working-class communities, and willing to confront MAGA extremism and corporate power. Abigail Spanberger highlights rising costs, chaos in communities, and public fear while promising pragmatic leadership to deliver for Americans. The Lee–Spanberger contrast exemplifies a left-versus-center contest within the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential cycle. House Democrats plan counter-programming during Trump's address, and Hakeem Jeffries urges members to attend silently or boycott.
