We're in a weird scenario where Democrats probably are up by like 8% in the generic ballot, would be my guess if the election were today.
But the economy is teetering on the brink of a recession.
So if you're looking at running in like,
You know, let's say you're... I believe the South Carolina Democratic candidate, her name is Annie Edwards.
I don't work for Annie, but I've heard really great things about her.
Let's say you're Annie Edwards and you're like, it's going to be a hard race to win in South Carolina.
Like, you know, Jamie Harrison didn't do as well as we wanted to six years ago against Lindsey Graham.
But Lindsey Graham is a lot older now.
His approval rating isn't great.
Donald Trump's in the White House again.
The economy's teetering on the edge.
If we run...
the right campaign, if we get raised the right amount of money, if the economy falls off a cliff, you could see it being a state where, you know, could you move 10 points in a more positive electorate in South Carolina?
Probably with the right candidate and stuff like that.
So, again, sometimes it's worth taking the risk to try.
Like, I think with...
the primary between Tallarico and Colin Allred, that's a good race.
Like we should be playing in Texas if for no other reason than for the down ballot effect, but also because Texas isn't that far away from flipping.
And in a race where people are turning against Trump and turning against MAGA, you could see Texas flip and that would be monumental.
I mean, it was unthinkable for Georgia to turn blue and we have two Democratic senators from Georgia right now.
