Well, here's what I'll say.

The structure of 2026...

We're going to win something.

I mean, they've rigged the game, whatever, but we'll win the House.

I feel pretty confident about that, barring something crazy.

But generally, you know, in a state of nature, like I think we probably are in shooting distance of the Senate.

You know, like that's all cool.

I think the fundamental problem is midterm elections are when the voters who give a shit about politics show up.

And those voters used to benefit Republicans.

Now they benefit us.

And so we'll have a great thing, but I think there still exists a fundamental problem that we don't have a coalition big enough to win a presidential election.

We didn't in 2020, even when we won, we barely won by 45,000 votes.

Like,

Across, you know, four states, like if the wind blows in the wrong direction, we lose.

So, you know, I think that that thing between now and then we have to have a compelling theory of the case and really a compelling person.

Like, I don't think the party solves it.

I think a nominee solves it.

That can make a coalition big enough that is going to win.

And I think that is that is still unresolved, which is why I'm like.

I'm still feeling nervous.
