Okay? voice-verified

They're they're they're down a few, uh usually within the margin of error. voice-verified

Now, being down a few in a red state like in Texas or or in Alaska, that's not a comforting position. voice-verified

So they got that. voice-verified

Then they have a money advantage. voice-verified

Money is not everything in politics. voice-verified

People can win races spending less. voice-verified
