And if you look at the RealClearPolitics aggregate, I think it's Democrat plus 3.5.

And so this isn't like some massive, huge blue wave where there's going to be a huge Democrat pickup, which is typically what happens.

This is going to be a slugfest.

And I think it's because politics has just changed so much that we're in this really existential situation where people are afraid.

This was a referendum, November 2024, on the federal government.

And Donald Trump wanted the job of president.

And as the leader of the free world, as a leader of the American people, this isn't, in my opinion, about transactionally just going down a list of promises that he made on the campaign stump.

He has to actually understand what Americans are going through

And the actual root cause problems that we have in our country.

And those problems are very deep in a way that I don't think everybody really understood in 2016.

But I think they understand now because we had the Department of Justice weaponized.

We had the January 6th psychological operation.

We had COVID.

We had all this stuff forced down people's throats.

We had the FBI being Joe Biden's personal Gestapo.

And Donald Trump is now leading that government.

And these problems have not been fixed.

We're coming up on the one month anniversary of my trip to Washington, D.C.

And I told Trump, I said, we need the fight, fight, fight plan for America that includes a conservative, pragmatic, economic populist plan.

Don't tell everybody it's a golden age because nobody believes that.
