election. so the challenge for the democrats is very stark. they have to stop looking at races where local election boards, secretaries of state as boring, unsexy content. right now they still are. the donor base doesn t get it. they re giving money to these shiny object races instead of giving money to places like run for something horribly underfunded, terrific organization, trying to support candidates for secretaries of state and local election boards and having a lot of trouble raising money. democrats still don t get it that this is where the rubber meets the road if they want to save democracy, they have to invest in these races that relate to the election machinery. john allen, your thoughts on whether or not president trump, former president trump, is going to run in 2024? what could he possibly be
