I think that helps Democrats when a guy like me can say how bad President Trump has been here.
Yeah, maybe. I think the first part, for sure. I spent some time this last week with some folks in organized labor in Western Pennsylvania who were saying exactly what you were saying. We're taking hits on our pensions. We're worried about losing out on bids for new construction and jobs because of materials and uncertainty and costs. Absolutely.

But I still think we got to have an answer for what Democrats want to say and do about our industrial power. And this is not just some homage to the past of we should make more things as some good on its own. We should make more things for a lot of reasons. But if nothing else, our national security.

It is a hollow shell of its past. We cannot produce the things we need for our national security, period. And I think if Democrats cede ground to Donald Trump as being the only guy who's trying to do something about this, and he's failing, I mean, let's be clear, he's failing at it. If we cede that ground, we're making a huge mistake on policy and on politics, right?

Because we got to win in Pennsylvania. We got to win in Michigan. We got to win in Wisconsin, not just in 26 in the midterm, but we got to win the presidency back.

And I think for me, Democrats have to be able to win in these places. We know how to do it. Right. I intend to keep winning. Josh Shapiro, I think, is going to kick butt next year in Pennsylvania. So we got to be able to have a message and something beyond just he is bad on trade for us to be able to earn back some trust in people.
