And in the Senate, and Mark, I think you were the first person a couple of months ago to kind of lay this out, that while the abstract, the macro numbers, the Democrats should win seven or eight Senate seats,

You know, you pointed out when you start walking through these seats race by race, it's going to be difficult, despite how bad the Republicans are, it's going to be difficult for Democrats to take the Senate still.

I think it's very unlikely based on historical trends.

I think it's very unlikely that the fundamental economic environment that

When voters start deciding if they're going to vote, who they're going to vote for, which, by the way, increasingly is earlier than it used to be.

So literally in six weeks from now, people are going to start or early September, people are going to start voting.

I think it's very unlikely that the economic condition in America is going to be appreciably different than it is today.

Well, so just to be clear, these midterm elections really tell you nothing about the next presidential election.

This is an election that's a referendum on the Republican Party and its leadership.

The two biggest midterm elections in terms of a wave were, as I mentioned earlier, 1994.

in 2010.

And in both cases, Republicans who won overwhelming victories in those elections lost the White House two years later.

So these are completely different elections.

You should not read anything into what happens in November as it relates to 2028.

In regards to the lessons from 2024,

The underlying lesson is, which I think you're seeing it every day now in voting, is you cannot run for office defending the status quo.

You have to be running for office for change, for changing the system.

And if you're on the wrong side of change, you're not going to get elected.

So the case of Biden, it's kind of a unique situation because he was basically elected

largely to beat Trump.
