I've seen that the biggest change in sort of the political climate has been with the start of this Iran war, the negative view that many voters have, particularly independents in the middle, throw in the impact on the economy.

And now all of the polling has started to show Democrats taking a small lead in Ohio.

That is hugely significant.

You already have a very good challenger candidate here.

Look, my skepticism on Brown is still there, that it's tough to be a challenger when you've been sort of in office as long as he has.

But if the bigger issue is the economy and Trump, you know, I don't know if the Republicans are going to make this a referendum on Sherrod Brown.

They had a better they did it.

They did a better job.

It was an easier thing for them to do in 24.

It's going to be a little harder now.

And again, the national political environment, you sort of feel it hasn't bottom hasn't fallen yet.

But you can hear the cracks.

And that's what this war has done.

Right.

It is sort of weakened the floor that Republicans are currently standing on.

Number four is Alaska.

And we've seen Mary Patola again.
