Sabrina Tavernise

And what Republicans so far seem to be up against is a lot of people are just resisting the product.

Um, uh, Sabrina Tavernise had a great piece, um, in The Times this week where she quoted a former Republican state representative who said, it gave, I think, the simplest answer to what's going on.

He said, "People are tired.

The whole divider-in-chief thing, it's just gotten so exhausting." And that exhaustion may yet, uh, overcome all this money, but I think it is gonna tighten some of these races.

[upbeat music] You've heard of a blue wave.

What about a red undertow? The New York Times's Sabrina Tavernise says that that is what's happening to Republicans, and that's what hap- that's what happens when Republican voters sour on their party.

And instead of going out to cast a ballot, they decide to stay home.

Jonathan Lemire, Paul Rieckhoff, Stu Stevens still with us.
