this pandemic is i think a reassessment of work, of what works for you, and then an opportunity for workers to look for options that better fit them in the long term. at the outset of this infrastructure debate, one of the things we heard over and over again is that president biden and vice president harris were going to have to get out on the road and they were going to have to sell this infrastructure plan. now that the dynamics of this have shifted a bit and they re really looking at this as two pieces, how do they continue to sell this piece of child care, care in general being infrastructure? if i were them, i would go to the mothers that have been impacted by this pandemic and tell their stories. they should start putting women on television, doing paid advertising, making sure these women are telling their stories shall and going into those
districts and specifically finding stories, whether it be in west virginia or arizona and other places, to put pressure on members of congress to ensure that members of congress are not telling kamala harris and joe biden no, that they re telling their constituencies no. i think this will be very important. i want to see some muscle behind this. i think you have seen the administration be pretty aggressive on this front, and they should continue to travel the country to ensure that this gets done. choppily carranza, xochitl, thank you for joining us. up next, the rampant infectious covid strain doing tremendous damage in unvaccinated communities. we have the latest information about the deadly delta variant next. e deadly delta variant next comfort in the extreme.
major priorities for republicans in one and for democrats in the other, and the biden administration wants to see them passed together. so republicans would have to come to the table for that. so, everything we talk about is with an eye towards 2022 and, of course, beyond and we ll loop back to talking about what happens if child care as an industry fails. but for democrats, what is on the line in terms of the pressure to deliver here on both pieces of this infrastructure package? there is a lot on the line. the reason why joe biden is sitting in the white house, the reason why we won back the house, the reason we won the senate is because women put us over the top and it was women of color that delivered in some of the key states. the pandemic hurt women and especially women of color. if you are looking back at the stacks, child care closures amounted to about 611,000 women leaving their jobs. this impacted everybody. i mean we all understand what it is like to live in the pandemi
2022 can seem myopic, especially when you are talking about a fast-growing portion of the electorate that is going to have the power to change elections for years to come, specifically when we talk about young latinos. what is it that they need to be seeing now from both parties to establish the type of partisan loyalty that can carry for generations? the most important thing they need to see is that the promises that were told and given to them are actually being accomplished, right. when president biden talked about immigration reform, when he talked about climate change, when he talked about criminal justice reform, people didn t necessarily vote for him because they were loyal to him. it is because they banked on faith, because they believed in that promise, because they believed that the party truly, truly wanted that type of america. i think the most important thing young people need right now is to not be disillusioned. the way to get it light now is to see those promises actu
on. it is great to be with you on this 4th of july weekend. look, we don t know what will be on the call, but all you need to do is look at whatever ron desantis is doing and then our governor is going to try to out crazy him. it has been the m.o. really during the worst-kept secret in austin, which is that our governor is running for president and he is trying to curry favor with the trump right wing of the party. we figure that denial of the freedom to vote is going to be on the call along with other red beat issues. the reality is we re going to stop these bills just like we stopped the voter suppression bill by using every tool in our arsenal to either talk it down, debate it down, defeat it, or, if not, we will use the same kind of tactics that we did, and that is frustrate quorum. the bottom line is all of the tools are on the table. representative hinojosa, i
