slightly more popular than Republicans, which, you know, is probably good for the midterms.

And of course, some of that Democratic weakness is just Democratic voters being pissed at the party, but still going to vote Democrat.

But I do wonder, as you look towards the midterms, like, do Democrats need to start making more of a case against the Republican Party in general and not just Donald Trump?

Or do you think that they're just so tied to Donald Trump that it's easy to if Trump's approval is way down, that people are just not going to vote for Republicans?

And again, this is not just about 2026, but it is about setting the table for 2028 because for every extra House seat and especially Senate seat, Democrats win this time around.

It's going to help our chances of having a majority if we get a Republican president in 2028 and then can actually pass shit.

And that means – and I think the Senate map is instructive here, right, which is like –

It used to be that we're like, oh, maybe we're close in Texas or wouldn't it be cool if we want Alaska?

But it's like, no, no, no.

Now, Texas, Alaska, Ohio, Iowa.

We need two of those four and North Carolina and Maine.

And to hold Michigan and New Hampshire in order to win – and Ossoff in Georgia, sorry, to have a Senate majority, to take the Senate back.

And then the map doesn't get a whole lot easier in 2028.

There's not a lot of pickup opportunities in 2028 for Democrats either.

So then you'd have to like hold more seats in tough states and maybe I guess – wait, Ron Johnson is up in Wisconsin then in 2028?

And McCormick in Pennsylvania, yeah.

No, no, no.

And again, just like want to get, get this in people's minds too.

You might think, okay, well, Trump's out democratic president, a democratic president without a congressional majority passing a bunch of executive actions, uh,

Not going to fly.
