And then Kara Swisher, host pivot, obviously, with Scott, texts us and is like, did you see this?
Did you see this?
And Donald Trump was talking about you on Fox News Radio with Brian Kilmeade.
Let's play the audio.
Beyond woke.
What did you think when you heard it?
So we're going to get to some of those statements because I have to account for them at work.
But I just wanted to talk about the primary specifically a little bit more, you know, watching it.
from New York City play out and the whole kind of Acela corridor was just unbelievably wowed by what your team did with, I think it was like 28,000 grassroots volunteers.
I mean, the numbers that kept getting pumping out of how many social impressions.
you know, how many hands you were shaking and the coalition itself that you put together and you activated, especially young voters.
I know certainly around Austin, the UT line was, you know, for miles and miles, but also Latino voters really came back to the Democratic Party in the primary for you.
Can you talk about the primary just a little bit?
Yeah, I want to talk to you since we're on the policy front about health care and you spoke a lot about it on the trail through the primary and just as a representative.
So, you know, we fought to get the ACA subsidy extension didn't work, didn't have the numbers for it.
Millions of Texans are gonna be thrown off their health insurance premiums, going up 400%.
But Obamacare also isn't perfect.
And I feel like, or we feel, we've talked about it a lot, that Democrats don't talk about that enough, that we don't need to just preserve the status quo, we have to improve the status quo for Americans.
What do you think are some smart fixes to our healthcare system that can increase coverage and make it more affordable for the average Texan and then the average American once you get to Washington?
I always like a good public-private partnership opportunity.
