I do think Democrats are going into a strong midterm for them.
Two things on that.
One is, though, unlike 2018, which was the first time I ever rooted for Democrats in my life, they won like 40 seats because there were a lot of seats that were up for grabs.
There is many fewer competitive seats this time around.
And so like that kind of a pickup.
But I do think the Mary Peltola get in Alaska as well as Sherrod Brown.
Like you are starting to see a possibility of a Senate map in a wave election where Democrats could get both the Senate and the House because they're going to win the House.
It's just a matter of by how much like what is the level of repudiation.
But my one caution on this is.
This is the normal ebb and flow of politics, right?
Party in power.
It's annoying.
It's not doing things the way everybody wants.
So and also Democrats now have a structural advantage.
We're in off year elections.
More of their people turn out than a lot of these low propensity voters who turn out and vote for Trump.
So we're dealing with all those realities.
