Just because he comes to the business community, I mean, that man has been intertwined with the NGO world and the Democratic Party now for many years.

But I think that's partially why he probably is surging.

He doesn't represent like the Biden administration, like Javier Becerra, who you covered him coming into that local news interview with such a sense of entitlement.
