That really worries me. And I say this, Gavin, that I didn't go to the Democrats. They came to me with Social Security, with GI Bill. It was clear when, at least my age growing up, Democrats stood with working people, Republicans stood with the wealthy. And there was nothing necessarily wrong with that. It was at least an argument. It feels much more polarized now, but people don't see us as that.

Yeah, look, and I felt excitement out there. And our policies are popular, by the way. When you pull our policies, like paid family medical leave, support for the environment, reproductive rights, they pull very high. We don't.

So what I have to tell you, what I take away from that, Gavin, is that I think we've got to be very careful of drinking our own Kool-Aid or believing we're in our bubble, because I truly did think we were going to win. And I say that as someone who has run in traditionally red districts, won close races, and I felt like I had a feel.

And I think this is where we're going to have to get out over our skis a bit, try new places. I know we've had this argument. It was out there. Governor, we didn't see you on a lot of things that weren't mainstream media. We didn't see you on podcasts. We didn't see you doing that. Are you willing to go into those? We need to be willing to go into those spaces.

Now, between you and I, Gavin, I don't think we're going to win over those 77 million that voted for Donald Trump. I'm concerned with the 90 million who stayed home. Now, I'm concerned that our policies positively impact those 77 million because you and I represent a lot of

independents republicans greens as well as democrats we have responsibility i don't know if we can necessarily win them over but i think the thing that we should really soul search on is when the choice was donald trump jd vance and kamala harris and myself and policies that we were clearly articulating it got pretty close 77 to 75 type of thing but it's the 90 million that stayed home why did they think we were the same why did they think we weren't there and i don't

I think by going into these spaces to be candid with you, it allows people to express their frustrations. It allows people to articulate what's happening in their lives. It better also be a place where we're hearing and learning. Because I'm guessing you're hearing some things that you don't normally hear when you're going on with some of these folks you're on with. They don't understand.
