He totally gets South Carolina. His political skills and his intellect are as good as it gets in the party. I rely on that a lot and have a real friendship with him, he's so skilled and he understands the entire country. He understands urban America, rural America. He understands that a lot of the problems these communities face are the same.

I'm going to try to communicate to everyone exactly how fierce of a global competition we're in economically, militarily, and really culturally. Not just here in the US but around the world, democrats need to have an agenda that Americans will trust us to lead in this competition. That means that we need everybody in the country healthy, skilled and ready to compete.
