I think one of the most interesting to me is Missouri, where I think it was plus 20. Trump, don't quote me, but I think it was plus 20. But we won Amendment 3 on abortion. We won the $15 minimum wage [in Missouri]. That same ballot that went plus 20 for Trump won abortion, one on $15 minimum wage and one on paid sick leave. Which begs the question around the party's challenge with positions versus messaging. (43:32–43:35)
