Dan Sullivan is a very smart guy.

Chuck Schumer, to his credit, if it weren't for Chuck Schumer and Kristen, what's her name, my own senator, Gillibrand, who's the head of the Democratic Campaign Committee, if they hadn't recruited so well in these races, the Democrats would have no chance.

So credit to them.

Uh, they got, uh, they got, uh, Mills in the race in Michigan in Maine.

Now she may not end up being the nominee, but if it weren't, if it weren't from their point of view, that was a big get getting governor Cooper to run in North Carolina.

Massive wouldn't be possible probably to win that seat without, um, without, uh, that recruitment.

And then, um, same with, uh, uh, Ohio, uh, wouldn't be possible to, uh,

to beat a Republican incumbent senator without Sherrod Brown.

Big recruitment there.

And then in Alaska, Mary Peltola is as good a candidate as Democrats could hope for in Alaska.

She won the House race as a House candidate.
