even further to the left than AOC.

So yeah, there it it's always the case, isn't it, that you have to a appeal to such a w broad swathe of the party that you will disenfranchise some parts.
voice-verified
But uh yeah, I would say she doesn't necessarily have the the the left wing sewn up if she was to going to go into this.
voice-verified
It looks like her bigger challenge would be to persuade moderates, but uh but she might have her problems on the left as well.
voice-verified
If you look at who was voting in those two primary races that you just referenced in Michigan and Wisconsin where
voice-verified
The progressive candidate got about fifty percent of the vote, just enough to win in um Michigan, not quite enough to win in
voice-verified
Wisconsin, it was younger voters, by and large, that were supporting more progressive candidates.
voice-verified
Do you think there's a generational shift of people AOC's age that if she was to leave this for potentially eight years, if uh a Democrat um wins in twenty twenty eight, that that the Overton window, as she described it, will have moved to the position where there's more chance of a progressive um presidential success?
voice-verified
That's different from campaigning alongside Hassan Piker, which is what Abdul Al Saeed, the now Democratic Senate candidate
voice-verified
in Michigan has been doing and that means he then gets saddled with some of the things that Hansan Piker has said in the past, get attached to um El Said as a result, and so he becomes a slightly more um toxic figure for people there.
voice-verified
So Anthony, if not AOC, at a moment when it does seem that the progressive left certainly have something of an audience, there will be left wing candidates, one of whom is likely to become some relative
voice-verified
relatively serious challenger in the in the race.
voice-verified
Um, Congressman Rokana, somebody like that?
voice-verified
Or do you know what?
voice-verified
Just good candidates.
voice-verified
It sounds incredibly obvious, but it's sometimes overlooked when we're trying to work out what direction the party's going in.
voice-verified
But candidate quality is a thing.
voice-verified
Somebody who is articulate, who's presentable, who's enthusiastic, you know, who's charismatic, who voters just like.
voice-verified
Good candidates will do better than poor candidates.
voice-verified
And that's probably the difference between Abdul El Said and Francesca Hong, the two left wingers who won and then lost in primaries in Michigan and Wisconsin this week.
