what do you think could be the best advice that you would give him in terms of how to capitalize on announcing if he is going to officially make a run for the 2024 opal office again? i really appreciated when he was in nantucket this weekend saying i m here with my family. he is very much a family person that he will get to that question when he gets to that question. i remember working for. and he was saying if i found that you missed a family event like a birthday or an anniversary, something important, for your family, because you are working either you will be a big trouble. so he will take his time and be thoughtful about it but while he does that let me just say that there is a lot of other activity happening just below the surface of the water. to build what will be a juggernaut campaign. part of that is the democratic national committee, which i think is the strongest dnc we ve ever seen. donors are lined up, they are ready to go. you see the other candidates are getting behi
