McCaskill appears to be speaking to supporters in a room plastered with her campaign signs. She describes going to “Schnucks on Sunday” or “the mall with [her] grandchildren” in the past when people would just say hi, tell her she was doing a great job. “Now people come up to me and say ‘save us’,” she told the group, acting out the drama of the remarks. 

“There’s this unbelievable urgency,” she declared. “And I realize that this is what people are talking about constantly.”
