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.

I mean, that to me, yes, of course, immigration is an issue that polarizes a lot of people, activates a lot of people.
