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.
