Some outside chance that Joe Biden was still president and he endorsed you for Miami mayor.

Well, let me ask you this, though.

If you could talk now, talk, you are talking now as a proud NPA.

Donald Trump was a Democrat a lot longer than I was a Democrat.

But as a proud NPA for the vast majority of my voting life since I turned 18 in 1996 and voted for Ross Perot, by the way, I've been an NPA and.

I love nonpartisan municipal elections.

I'm not a big fan of these constitutional offices that we've created.

I'm even less of a fan that they're partisan.

I really do like a partisan race.

I don't like the toxicity that and tribalism that seeps in to races when they get partisan, because it's really about what's best for this community from the government that serves you on a minute by minute basis, which is what local government does.

But here's my question.

Speaking to.

Democrats and NPAs who last summer saw you as a different brand.

They saw you as a savior of democracy and the election.

You were the, as we've talked about, ad nauseum on this show, the only candidate, the only person who sued the city of Miami to restore the election that the mayor and the city commission had committed.

canceled in order to gift themselves an extra year in office it was an act of insanity you were the only person who stood up to it i had eileen higgins sitting in that very chair some some time ago asking her why a she didn't join the fight and b why she then fundraised on it the day the day that you took credit for that you lost and was privately telling people oh this one year delay in the election actually benefits me while she was telling me a totally different story i

Maybe that's not why.

Maybe that's why she's not here again today.

Christian, what are your thoughts on this?

Sorry, in the interest of equal time here, I just wanted to anyway.
