The way I would put it is this is a historic opportunity for the party.

The political

storm clouds have aligned as such that we have a shot to have a very, very big election.

We have work to do to get there.

That includes improving the party brand.

It includes our candidates running good races.

It includes having enough money to be able to compete in some of these Trump plus 10, Trump plus 12, Trump plus 13 seats that are on the cusp of possibly tipping if we do everything right.

It means being able to compete aggressively in all these expansion Senate states like

Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Alaska, maybe even Florida.

There are a lot of ways that we can stumble on the way of the altar here, but the opportunity is there as we sit here today.

And if this work continues, if oil prices and gas prices continue to go up, the opportunity is going to get even bigger.

And McCormick is up.

That's not true.

Sorry.

Fetterman is up.

Fetterman is up.

Fetterman is up, yeah.

But this is a little bit of bad luck, is you would have almost wanted, yes, maybe this year we have a shot at some of these Senate seats we would not have in a different year.

Also, we have a bunch of Democrats in tough seats who we'd like to have up in a great year like this.

It was like Joe Manchin was able to cruise to re-election in 2018.
