And they know that's the movement we're building in Texas.

And so they're going to throw everything they've got at us.

They're going to dig up all kinds of, you know, old statements, take them out of context and try to paint them in the worst possible light.

Um, because this is the only playbook they have in 2026.

Yeah, we launched this campaign six months ago in my hometown of Round Rock, Texas, which is just north of here.

And shout out to Round Rock.

And since then, we have had tens of thousands of Texans showing up to rally with us in every corner of the state, from Beaumont to El Paso, from

Amarillo to Brownsville and everywhere in between.

And I can't tell you how many people come up to me at the end of these events and they whisper, I'm not a Democrat.

Like they're in the witness protection program.

And we have recruited, I think now it's over 30,000 volunteers who are doing the organizing work in every community across the state.

We've also shattered grassroots fundraising records all without taking a dime from corporate PACs.

So this is a, this is a,

A people-powered movement.

It's not a movement against any one politician or any one political party.

It's a movement against this broken system.

And we are trying and I think succeeding in building a campaign of, by, and for the people.

And it's why so many people in Washington are nervous about what we're building here.

We shocked people on election night in this primary.

I think we're going to shock people again in November.
