Jason Crow, Democrat of Colorado, that aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Oct. 25, 2026. MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to Democratic Congressman Jason Crow of Colorado, who is in Denver this morning. Congressman, our CBS polling shows Democrats are on pace to have a narrow majority of about 11 seats and that for most voters who are backing Democrats, they tell us their motivation is more about stopping Trump and GOP policies than advancing other policies.
Is that how you think your party will govern the House in opposition? REPRESENTATIVE JASON CROW: You know- you know politics is really interesting. There's a lot of weird things about politics in this job.
But one of the weird things is when, you know, the political class comes out with polling and they're like, "Hey, Americans want to be able to pay their bills and afford health care and afford housing and- and groceries." I mean, that- that's just it always has been true, always will be true. It always will be the primary thing people are concerned about. It's actually what we're running on.
As the battleground chair for House Democrats, I have recruited and mentored this battlefield of candidates. It's what they're running on, it's what we're going to win on, and it's what we're going to address when we get into power in January. MARGARET BRENNNAN: Well, I take your point on polling, but at the same time, our poll shows 57% of voters don't think Democrats have a clear plan to do all the things that you just laid out.
In Ohio yesterday, former President Barack Obama put the challenge this way. FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We can't just be against something. We got to be for something.
We got to start showing what a future on the other side of this administration can look like. MARGARET BRENNAN: Excuse me that was Michigan, not Ohio. But the point he's diagnosing there or the issue he's diagnosing there you would acknowledge, and how, if you do in the House, how do you move any of the affordability platforms if Republicans control the Senate?
