So I think the campaign took a page from that and not realizing that they're very different animals. Midterms are different from presidential elections. It probably didn't – those issues didn't have the same resonance in the presidential election, which is really all about the two candidates more than it is about issues, no matter how effective or resonant they might have been in the midterms.

Around the world, something like 50 out of 85 elections, in those elections, incumbents lost since 2020. So there was a real wave of anti-incumbent sentiment, and she never got out ahead of that.

That's correct. Her story is really not well known. But Susie Wiles was emphatic and candid about what she thought the mistakes were by the Paris campaign.

And part of what she meant by that was that she felt that just like the Biden's handlers in 2020, that they were hiding her, not in the basement this time, but They were hiding her coming out of the convention, that there was a period of a couple of weeks where she wasn't doing interviews.
