I mean, the registration. Democrat plus. How many? There's 80,000 more Democrats than Republicans. This is a district Joe Biden won by 10 points in 2020. It's, you know, D +3 on the Cook PVI rating. So obviously it's very, very heavily Democratic district. I'm the first Republican in parts of this district to represent it in over 20 years. (01:59–02:03)
