Uh, here's a question from, uh, Verou 2002 says, can you see the house flipping back to the Democrats as well as holding onto the Senate and possibly increase the seats in in next year's election? Yes, I do. I 100% think that's gonna happen. And I, I I, I don't think it's a possibility. I think it is going to happen based on the way things are right this second. Now, ask me a week from now, maybe a different answer. Ask me two weeks may be different from that, but right now the way I see it going based on the public's unhappiness with the way that Republicans are doing things in the House of Representatives, I think yes, I, I I I think the Democrats are on track to take the house back and, and again, they don't even have to pick up that many seats. Right now Republicans only have a five seat majority, so Democrats only have to flip six.

And we already know one that is definitely flipping back the blue George Santo's seat that is not gonna be a Republican seat in 2024 or at the end of 2024. We know that, right? And I think Republicans know that too. Um, so I, I, I do think the Democrats are on a great track. Now, the Senate, I will say is a little more iffy, uh, because we're definitely, I think, going to lose at least one democratic seat. But it's a democratic seat that I'm okay with losing as Joe Manchin. It's time for Manchin to go. If we're gonna have somebody in that body that's acting like a Republican and citing with the Republicans and talking like a Republican, I'd rather it be a Republican, right? Get the bad Democrats out. That's what I've been saying. Get the bad Democrats out. Even if it means replacing them with a Republican because maybe we just write off West Virginia.

Uh, you know, I hate to say that about any state, but maybe we have to do that in order to get some good Democrats in some other areas, right? It's a chess match. You're not gonna win all of them. You gotta sacrifice a couple pieces to make a killer move somewhere else. And that may be what we have to do with Joe Manchin. Just not give the money to him for his campaign cuz he is facing a very tough Republican Jim Justice governor. Um, let's spend that money elsewhere where we may have a real shot at actually winning. And for the record, I'm sorry, but no, that is not in Texas. I know Ted Cruz is unpopular outside of Texas, but he's not unpopular in Texas. And if we spend tens of millions of dollars trying to take over that seat, we are gonna sorely regret it. We regretted it six years ago. I don't think that's a smart thing to do, and I hope the Democrats don't do that. I'd love to see Ted Cruz gone. Don't get me wrong, but I don't think that's a seat that's ready to flip yet.
