Andrea Stewart-Cousins, New York State Senate Minority Leader (D-35), discusses being the target of an incendiary, racially offensive post from Success Academy chair Daniel Loeb, as well as schisms within The New York State Senate.

Stewart-Cousins says that "the nation is looking to us" New Yorkers. She argues that this moment is a special opportunity and that New York Democrats must unite in order to move forward.
