But I have I have a big board here.

So we're going to go Michigan with a third pick.

I feel like Michigan, classic swing state, a state that voted for Donald Trump, but also elected a Democratic senator in 2024 and Alyssa Slotkin.

And I feel like it's going to test a lot of the things we've already been talking about on the podcast, specifically, Domenico, some of the economic stuff you've talked about and laid out in polling, where I feel like when I looked at exit polls,

Donald Trump won voters who were not happy with the economy in 2024, like four out of five voters in Michigan.

And I feel like I'm very interested to see, are those still Republican Senate voters or are those voters who are disillusioned with the tariffs, frustrated with the economy?

And then the other thing I'm watching in Michigan is this test of something I've heard a lot from

Republicans who seem to feel like they are, in some cases, a little bit more organized on the candidate level.

And right now, it seems like the likely Republican nominee for Senate is going to be Mike Rogers, who lost that race to Alyssa Slotkin in 2024.

But there's a wide open Democratic primary.

And I think in a lot of places, Republicans are kind of betting on Democrats kind of eating themselves up in the primary process and coming out a little bit weathered.

And so I'm very interested to see how that primary plays out early in the year as well, and who comes out of that to see where

where the race stands in November.

Stephen, you're on the clock again with the fourth pick.

OK, a really good pick.

Domenico, fifth pick.

Go for it.

I do feel like, Stephen, I was looking at the Ossoff race a year ago as kind of just assuming it was going to go Republican way.

But I feel like I was one of those people who saw those special election results this past November where Democrats actually won a statewide race or a couple statewide races there.

And I feel like that that am I right in feeling like Ossoff had to be seeing that as well and feeling pretty good about his chances.
