Massachusetts senator on Democrats winning the House and Senate

(CBS, KYMA) - Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) spoke with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Sunday about the Democrats winning both the House and the Senate.

The Democrats won both chambers of Congress during Tuesday's midterm elections, with Sen. Warren saying, "Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who are unafraid to call out corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else."

When asked what specific policies she thinks she can work with President Donald Trump on, the senator said:

"President Trump himself said that he wants to reduce interest rates on credit cards to 10%. I got the bill, I'm ready to go. President Trump says he wants to do more on housing. We're ready. We have the bills ready to go. And besides that, we got a whole bunch more that the American people have told us that they want on price gouging, on protecting our rural hospitals, on making sure that people have access to healthcare. We have a lot of work lined out that we can do. In fact, one of the best parts of this election was how many Democrats stood up and didn't just say, "I'm for the middle class." They said, 'Here, I understand what is broken. Here are my specific plans to fix it, and I am committed to doing that.' So you end up with this situation where, in Michigan and Texas, you've got the candidates saying the same thing, break up big medicine. You end up with a situation where in Kansas and in South Carolina, you've got the Democratic candidates saying, "We love that road to housing bill, but we want to go bolder, bigger, more housing." Situation where in North Carolina and Alaska, we've got candidates saying, 'Hey, we need to break up the grocery monopolies, and stop price gouging.' Iowa and Maine, where the Senate candidates there said "We're going to shore up Social Security and make billionaires pay their fair share," and, you know, those may sound like lots of different pieces. They're not. They're all about economic power and people have told us that's what they want and we've got the team to deliver now."

Meanwhile, President Trump said he wants to work with Democrats on few things, such as immigration, tax cuts, or "maybe certain things having to do with taxes to make it more convenient, a lot of economic development initiatives."

This prompted Brennan to ask Warren if it tracks with her expectations of how the White House will be able to work with her, to which she said:

"Let's be clear. The American people are the ones who've really set the agenda here. They're the ones who have told us what they wanted. They didn't just tell Democrats. They delivered a message to the Republicans pretty loud and clear. And I just follow through on what happened in the- just this last summer. We put together a bipartisan housing bill that is going to expand the supply of housing and help bring down the cost of housing, and for the first time ever in American history, going to ban private equity. Donald Trump didn't even sign the damn thing, and yet it is now law. We got a lot of ways to deliver for the American people, whether Donald Trump wants to be part of it or not."

During the interview, Brennan and Warren talked about the senator warning to bring in big tech CEOs, Wall Street executives and giant corporations who may have broken the law to face consequences.

This led Brennan to ask the senator if the focus is going to be legislation, or if the focus is going to be investigation, and Warren said, "We have to do both. But I do want to be clear: if you've been making your profits by cheating American families and scamming your investors, you better get ready for some investigations, serious ones."
