Transcript
00:00Before I let you go, you have said in the past that you are going to be president by 2040.
00:07Does that mean we're going to see another run for governor?
00:10Or what's the next step in your political career?
00:13I believe in having strong ambitions and thinking about what's next.
00:18And when I responded to that question, it was a question of, do I believe that it's possible?
00:22I believe everything is within our grasp if we can work with it, work for it,
00:27and if we can build the systems that make it possible.
00:30I don't know what I'm going to run for next.
00:32Politics is one part of my person. It's one part of what I do.
00:36It's one tool in my toolbox.
00:37But right now I'm focused on making certain that we have the strongest presidency,
00:41that we have leaders at the state and local level who are protecting our rights,
00:45that we are defending diversity, equity, and inclusion,
00:49because that's the pathway to education, to the economy, and to elections,
00:53to making certain that those who hold power on our behalf actually have to listen to us.
00:57And so my mission is to do what I can to guarantee equity, access, and inclusion across this country.
