And, but I'll tell you this, I want to see Trump maximize the rest of his term.

I mean, it's going to be a fight for the next guy or girl to get there.

And, you know, the left just tries every way they can, especially using federal courts to slow his agenda down.

Right.

You know, that's one of the things I thought about when I decided to run is that, you know, Alabama is going to have a huge regime change in our state.

I mean, we're going to have a governor who's brand new to state government, which is not a bad thing, but we're electing a whole new slate of constitutional officers.

But our work, you know, at the national level, those lawsuits and those fights, that can't slow down.

That can't slow down for a transition.

And so I really do believe that the state would be well served by having an AG that could just walk in on day one and just switch desks and keep going because time is going to be of the essence.

I mean, when this election's over, Trump's going to be, you know, halfway through, and there's just a lot more we want to help him accomplish.

Not too much to ask, but sometimes it feels like it.

I think when I look at our state and sort of the position that we hold, we coordinate a lot with the other Republican attorneys general.

So you start to get a pretty good idea of the feel for every state and whether they have the support of their constituents to take on different issues.

And I've started to realize that Alabama is one of the last states in the country that really has a truly conservative constituency.

meaning that whatever the fight is that we need to take on, we can take it on because our people still believe in those things.

And the number of states that can take those issues on is, I mean, you see Georgia.

I mean, we've more or less lost Georgia's ability to fight hard fights because the politics have changed there so much.

And so then when I come back to Alabama after being with that group and I sort of assess where we are,

You know, we've got to be vigilant.

We have got to be vigilant in making sure that we don't become Georgia.
