Warnock Says He Puts Up With Politics to Deliver Change, Citing $35 Insulin Cap

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 16

Summary

  • Raphael Warnock told Jon Stewart he is "not in love with politics" and can separate it from his faith, saying he endures the political arena to make concrete policy changes.
  • The Georgia Democrat pointed to legislation capping insulin costs for seniors at $35, arguing public policy is a matter of life and death and the payoff for tolerating politics.
  • Warnock, who is also a pastor, said he does not need elected office to lead and would keep serving outside the Senate because leadership is an orientation, not a title.
  • In a May interview, Warnock also urged Democrats to drop jargon and speak plain English to young men — especially Black and Latino men — whom he said feel demoralized and unheard.
