I mean, prior to, let's say, someone senior from the Trump administration coming to campaign or a bunch of money being dumped in the state, like, what is the chain of events or what are the things that happen to sort of, for someone in South Carolina to realize maybe they have a problem to convincing someone in Washington, "Hey, you guys need to spend here"?

Yeah, I mean, previously, and, you know, this is kind of why we're in, in uncharted waters here, is if, um, you know, Senator Lindsey Graham was still alive today, I wouldn't think this would be a race at all.
19:09
Um, and I don't think people even anticipated that it would, um, at the time.
19:13
You know, talking to their consultants after they got out of the primary, um, they were, you know, cautious.
19:19
I mean, you know, they acknowledged that, you know, Andi Andrews was going to be a serious opponent.
19:23
She was bringing several million dollars into the race after not really running a competitive primary.

So I, I guess if, if you're arguing here that Trump is gonna be an important factor in this, um, so, so generally speaking, like, how much of a correlation is there between Trump's national approval rating and his South Carolina one? And then, like, I guess the part two of that question is, I mean, h- how low would Trump's approval ratings need to drop in South Carolina before just, um, that, that factor is gonna start to make a Democrat competitive statewide?
