I have nothing to point out.
The approval rating for Congress is because you're asking the nation to write individuals.
Most counties like most congressional districts have a favorable view of their member of Congress.
Then the nation has a negative view.
So a lot of people are like, why are Republicans like Dan Crenshaw getting elected?
Because he represents a district where they make money off of the military.
To be fair, he was primaried.
But you have districts where there are Republicans and the jobs they have are a weapons factory or a military industrial facility.
And then we say, why are the Republicans voting for this?
That guy is because if he voted against that funding, he'd get voted out of office because the people who live in his district make money off of it.
This is what people don't understand.
So how do you vote the incumbents?
The incumbents are promising things to their district the district wants.
Just there's no collective United States that wants the same thing.
So just for the last part of your question, you said they rejected the will of the people in 24 election and put Thune in and refused a public vote.
So we knew who sided against Trump and Rick Scott.
The issue is.
you've got a district where he's like, I need this in the omnibus because it's going to provide $17 million to go to the medical facilities in my district where we manufacture masks and syringes.
The people who live in my district need this to happen.
And the Democrat goes, well, I'll give you the vote on it, but we're not passing the SAVE Act.
