And then running statewide, right?

We got some candidates like Cooper in North Carolina, Brown in Ohio, Mills in Michigan.

They've run statewide before.

But this universe of folks that we're dealing with mostly haven't run statewide, whether it's an open seat or for a challenger.

Statewide, having run statewide,

even in an era of the outsider, is an advantage.

And so part of why I'm more bullish on the Republicans' chances of holding than some is John Sununu's run statewide, right?

Susan Collins' incumbent state ride.

Mike Rogers in Michigan has run statewide.

Those are advantages.

Just as I say for the Democrats, Governor Cooper's run statewide in North Carolina.

Brown's run statewide in Ohio.

So

Coronin's run statewide as an incumbent.

So that matters, you know, the experience of doing that.

It means you've been vetted more.

It means you know how to build an operation, et cetera.

So I continue to say, obviously, it's early.

And people say, well, it's too early to say.

This is just a snapshot of where we are now.
