Oh, um.

Oh, he's taking Wes Moore.

I thought he was gonna choose a handsome black guy of another sort.

Give me your logic for the Wes Moore selection.

Have you seen him?

I've seen him.

I mean, he certainly has the fresh face quality and I think is introducing himself on the national stage where there's a desire to hear from some new people.

So I could definitely see him making something work.

I think I'm going to go with the senator from Georgia, John.

Awesome.

Because I think that it is an electability thing.

And I think about what you're saying about Jewish candidates.

And I honestly think there is some way that it can insulate some folks from some criticism, too.

And that if you kind of play if you speak to your kind of anti-Zionist, but also not overtly left wing communities, I think they can actually play both roles there.

And so I can actually see a Jewish candidate being an advantage for an issue for Democrats, but not necessarily a hindrance if you're not firmly in one side or the other.

So I think I'm going to go Ossoff.

He's also made what should be a really tight race look fairly safe for Democrats in this year.

And I think that he could get a little midterms boost because of that.

Is your concern is gender?

I wonder if voters prioritize policy, though, like, you know, since you're mentioning those types of electability and other things.
