Because we have an unchecked executive.
And so when Donald Trump is now calling on Texas and Florida and Ohio and Missouri and North Carolina and saying, I need you to find me seats.
This is literally him trying to rig an election to make this pain that we are seeing in our states, making it permanent.
And so the thing that we are simply asking.
And I think Leader Jeffrey shared that with the Senate president, is the House and Maryland have already, they've debated, they discussed, they made some adjustments, but then they voted.
That's democracy.
And no matter how this turns out, I'll be okay because that's democracy in action.
So we're simply asking the Maryland Senate and the chamber leader to be able to defend democracy as ferociously as you're defending the status quo.
No, I think there are enough senators right now who understand not just the call, but who understand the assignment.
And so I am optimistic that the Maryland Senate is going to do the right thing because it's not just that we're paying attention, frankly, their constituents are paying attention.

During that same period of time, the president of the United States has decided to change the colors on Air Force One, has now installed a new ballroom and probably has tweeted about me every 30 minutes like this is absurd.
And when the president says, you know, that if Governor Moore asks me nicely to help with a sewage issue, which, by the way, is a breakage of a D.C.
pipe on federal land, Maryland has nothing to do with this.
