And when I first ran for Congress Back in 2018, the first Trump midterm, I ran in a strong Republican seat, a district that hadn't elected a Democrat since 1968, a district my predecessor had won in 2016 by. By 15 points. And I swung it 17 points to win right at 2 points. And so I say that because we can win at least two seats, I would argue four seats within Virginia, and they are worth working for to win. (11:58–12:03)
