Look at these red states, particularly that, you know, you say they're not in play, but they're all close. Do any of them keep you up at night? No, I tell you what, not much keeps me up at night, to be honest with you, Manu. The one thing that gets me excited when I think about this election cycle on the map is Minnesota. I think Minnesota, we have a real shot with Michelle Tafoya. She has done a really good job on fundraising. Will you spend money there? We just did an event for her. We've done two events for her recently, one in the state and one in Nashville call for the donors. What we know without question is she is within a point of the lieutenant governor right now. So if we can continue to let her show the contrast between the two candidates, I think Michelle Tafoya is the kind of Republican that can win. Do you think you'll pick up seats? I think we could have a 54-seat majority. Okay. Not 46. Not 53. All right. My excellent panel is back.
