I think that the focus really has to be on the economic situation.
One of the mistakes that I saw with President Biden's reelection campaign while it was going on and then with the Harris campaign when it became the Harris campaign was a lot of pointing to.
But don't people see the economic numbers?
Things are really good and they may be really good for a bunch of people and not good for a lot of others.
But if people don't feel that things are good and you're telling them they are,
of course they're not going to think you'll make anything better.
You're saying everything's fine to begin with.
And this is why I think Barack Obama's 2012 campaign did this very well, where he said, we've made a lot of progress getting out of the great recession and we still have a long way to go.
And here are the three or four things I'm going to focus on.
It felt much more like, okay, I can acknowledge this is no longer 2008.
And also this is still a climb that we are in the middle of.
And then you need to have policies you can actually deliver on.
So that's where Donald Trump made a huge mistake, which is gas will be down 50 percent.
Everything will be cheaper.
It's going to be a new glory.
You know, and gas is over four bucks a gallon nationally and much more in certain parts of the country.
You have to have some possibility of delivering on what you're asking.
Yeah, that and and immigration, I think, were two areas that weren't landing well with a lot of voters and the here's the progress we've made.
But then, like, here's the North Star.
There is a kind of transition there that's relatively smooth, which I think makes people feel a lot more heard.
