Bennet in New Hampshire

His first act as president would be to assemble a coalition to combat climate change.

“We have to not only act urgently, but we have to act on it in a way that will endure, and we don’t have that currently,” Bennet said. He added that he doesn’t want legislation to be as disposable as he sees it has been, changing every two years as a new House of Representatives is elected.

“We’re destroying the planet, I would like to see that stop,” Brenda Berkal of Salem said. “Climate change is real. And I’m worried.”
