During day two of the Democratic National Convention, White House Correspondent Ebony McMorris spoke with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, representing Missouri's 5th district, and he talked about what the base needs to do after the convention:

"Well, we've got to continue to go upward. I think that enthusiasm is the mother's milk for political success. But the emotion will only take us so far. I think we'll get a bump coming out of the convention. But I think now we are getting revved up, hopefully, if we're going out and working, we're going to have to bring people out. I think a lot of people are going to come out automatically now because of the, in Missouri for example, we have the abortion issue on the ballot and we have the minimum wage on the ballot. Those things attract large chunks of voters. And so all of us are going to go back to our districts and everybody's going to be fired up and I think we're going to probably level out at some point before the election. But I think if we have enough energy now, it'll take us all the way into November."
