Um, Bernie Sanders is rallying with her in Tallahassee over the weekend, this upcoming weekend, which sounds awesome.

AOC has endorsed her campaign, and now we have Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who's a shrewd guy.

Ambitious and shrewd, right? I, I was saying, you know, Van Hollen and Chris Murphy have really positioned themselves in this Trump 2.0 era where people are disgusted with Democratic leadership as, uh, folks who can adapt [laughs] to where the party is headed.

I would say Van Hollen's politics are better, but Murphy might be a more cutthroat politician.
They at least behave like senators should, and instead we have them as just basically a check on any popular will, but not really a check on the, like, eg- imperial presidency, for instance.

Right, and, and, uh, he sees a future beyond Chuck Schumer, who was nice enough to just, you know, get on a phone call with Angie Nixon.

But sending her actual resources, meaningful resources, meeting with her in person? No, no, no, no, no.

[laughs] Uh, uh, candidates that he, you know, he supported that weren't necessarily that popular, that's where all that money went.

Angie Nixon, I guess, doesn't deserve the DSCC's attention, but maybe she doesn't want it or need it because her outsider status is good for her brand.

However, uh, Chris Murphy went down there to talk about why he's campaigning with Angie Nixon and, uh, uh, said this to Kasie Hunt, uh, yesterday.
National Democrats haven't been willing to invest in this Senate race in Florida.
It's a very large map.
But you have focused in on it.
What are you doing, and why do you think you can make a difference here?
Yeah, thanks for having us.
I mean, two reasons.
Um, one, I think we can win Florida, a- and we can't give up on Florida as a national Democratic Party.
So I'm down here campaigning with Angie today.
Uh, I've committed $100,000 to her race and to the races in Florida.
