You know, you go to Alaska, you go to Iowa, Texas, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, lots of

potentials of pickups on the Senate races alone.

And you say, that's where the prioritization for the Democratic National Committee is, right?

Just to look at this field and look at the possibilities.

And we need to advertise, this is the moment to advertise a different kind of a Democratic Party.

And

Mary Peltola gives you that.

James Tallarico gives you that.

Graham Plattner gives you that.

Obviously, I have to navigate some primary issues here.

Who represents us in Iowa?

Who represents us in some of these other places?

But I think that the possibility is that for the first cycle that I can remember in a long period of time, we will have new faces that look and feel like working class.

voices, relatively new voices across the board, although Sherrod and Roy Cooper are older.

But I think you might have the opportunity to say, look at the new faces, the new direction, the new orientation of this Democratic Party.

That's what I think is really possible from the DNC side of things.

What do you suggest are the options on the table?

I mean, we're not going to be we're not going to be the Democrats have already agreed to stand down in Nebraska.

Yeah, yeah.

So in my mind, if you feel like there's a good chance that we could capture the Senate with Democrats, majority of the Democrats, why wouldn't you let a flyer run in Montana, wherever the case might be, in which we don't necessarily have to field a Democratic candidate because we think we can defeat the Republican or the Independent?
