I think the state of the party is not as bad as you might say or others might say. I think, you know, it's always hard when you're in the when you do not control the presidency. It is always hard to have. I know a lot of people would like us to have one Uber messenger who tells everybody what to do, but that's not the way politics works.

And it's not the way with either party that politics works when you don't control the White House. And you have a Congress, House, Senate, different voices. You have governors, different voices. You have people who are thinking about running for president who aren't in any of those bodies who are voices.

And I think the most important thing, though, is that we've had some elections that we've done well in, and we're about to have more elections. And I suspect the narrative will change when we win the governorship in New Jersey, when we win the governorship in Virginia, when we win the House in 2026, when we do better than expected in the Senate in 2026. And I think that's all going to happen.

And the reason it's going to happen is, you know, as you know, beginning of the year, I told you I thought Donald Trump was doing pretty well. I don't think he's doing very well right now. And I think in six months, in nine months, he could be doing worse because ultimately he was elected because people wanted him to make the economy better.

And the economy is not better today than it was when he was elected. And I don't think it's going to be better. I'm not wishing for this, but I don't think it's going to be better in six months.

I think there's a number of people. I think, as I've said to you before, Mark, I think it's really important that we command attention and that we be authentic and that we create some action. And I think that Cory Booker's overnight event did all of that. I think that the Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, you know, sit on the steps of the Capitol did that.

I think many, I think Pete Buttigieg appearing on that three hour podcast the other day did that. I think we have a bunch of people out there who are beginning to figure out that we have to communicate in a different way.
