The only thing I would encounter is I don't think we lost because of apathy in November. I really, really believe that. When you looked at the exit polls, 50% said it was the economy. Another 20 something said immigration in the border. 12 other countries that look like us. Whoever was in charge lost last year because of inflation coming out of COVID I really think that that was the most significant thing. (40:21–40:26)
