certain parts we didn t expect. jason, i would be surprised if every campaign wasn t doing just that. the question is, how do you harness the energy that is out there? i think by not being afraid of the issue. i mean, look, as democrats, i mean, we re pro choice. there s been a lot of times over the last several years where democrats have been like, well i don t know if i want to talk about that. well, you know, i m pro choice but this. no, look, we re pro choice. it turns out i ve known this for awhile, so is most of america. i m fifth generation here. i grew up part of my growing up was in kansas. it s a huge deal! like, it s not just that, you know, it was a blowout win for reproductive rights. it s that kansas is a place where, yeah, like, what, 60% of people voted in a pro choice way yesterday. i don t know that 60% of people will go to work today and be like that s how i voted. because culturally that s not really what happens in kansas. i think it might be what is
using arizona. i think it s an example here. lake is able to surge turnout. she proved it yesterday. those new trump voters in 2020 don t have a history. they re not high propensity voters. they don t have a high history coming out. they came out in the middle of august for a primary here. lake is a known entity here on tv news for more than 20 years is able to present herself as a force and as a ally of but one who can represent arizona, if she has a very legitimate shot at winning maricopa county county and winning the state of arizona in the general election against the democrat. thank you. we appreciate it. be sure to check out jason s new book, invisible storm. in the meantime, a rising death toll out west as the wild fire continues to torch northern
