This race is a lot more important than just about me. This is about a Republican Party that I've worked over decades to help build into the monolith that it currently is. We haven't elected a Democrat since 1994, and all of that is in jeopardy if we nominate a flawed nominee like the Attorney General. And, of course, down ballot. The president is very concerned about maintaining the majority in the House of Representatives. We have five new congressional seats that were drawn in redistricting. (03:07–03:18)
