So a criticism I've seen about you online is that you lost a Ron Johnson when you ran for the Senate. Why would people vote for you? Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. It was the closest Senate race in Wisconsin in over 100 years of the closest challenge to any incumbent. What was the difference? 26,000 votes. So one point. It was a one point race in a year. That was really bad for me. It was tough for Democrats. (26:05–26:12)
