Go in and meet enough people and surprise enough people that you peel away some of those voters and you lose better, you know, with 41 percent of the vote instead of 35 percent of the vote in a certain county or an area. And I think part of that is it's not about your policy papers that you write on your website. It's not about wonky stuff. It's just like, do they get the leadership vibe from you?

And I think I had a few more ounces of that than maybe the average Democrat. And it helped me in some of those areas where Democrats kind of lost pretty big.

Well, I think you have like we can walk and chew gum. Right. Like I think there is no way I would ever say with what Donald Trump is doing to roll back our democracy that we shouldn't be watching those issues and activated on those issues. We should. I mean, you know, as someone who's been in national service my whole life, like that's what we're trying to do here is preserve our democracy. Right.

But I think if you're only doing that and not speaking to people who are really struggling to pay their bills, you're just having half a conversation. In Michigan in general, if you're not talking about the economy, you are literally having half a conversation. And I've had someone say to me, like, I can't pay for my kid to go to summer camp with democracy. Right.

So it's not that people don't care. They do. But if you're working two jobs and have crappy health insurance, like it's just not the thing that's keeping you up at night.

Well, look, I mean, she had what the fast like 100 days. I mean, something very, very short. But I think what ended up happening is people couldn't tell what our priorities were at the at the highest levels. There were so many priorities that there were no priorities. And again, I have no love for Donald Trump, but he just really made it an election about your pocketbook.
