And I don't want to make it sound like just because Republicans are in a really terrible position that Democrats are suddenly going to be, you know, winning all these elections.
They really do have to play up the messaging on the economy.
But, you know, enthusiasm is really on our side this time.
I can tell you, you know, a lot of these people you talked about who came over to vote for Trump and don't normally vote were voting with their wallets.
They were thinking about inflation.
They were thinking about the economy.
And now they've seen what Trump has done and it's completely reverse course.
I'm also stunned by this.
This is Texas, just so everyone remembers.
Yes.
And this is one of the things that we've seen throughout this year, especially in Texas, is a lot of those Hispanic voters who came over to Trump, we were seeing last summer that they were already falling off in significant numbers from Republicans.
And so one interesting thing that we've been looking at a lot is the redistricting in Texas.
It's predicated on the idea that Republicans can hit the same number that Trump got in 2024 with Hispanic voters.
All the polls say that's not possible.
So what they've produced is another dummymander that actually might make it easier for Democrats to hold onto and pick up seats in Texas.

And you can't necessarily squeeze them too hard.
And what happens, especially in Florida, is you have these districts that have really strong Republican liens.
