make no mistake. i m running to be the nom northeast. i want to beat president trump and my fellow competetives in competitors in the primary. think it takes someone from the next jen station. jeff angelo is host of need to know with jeffing a low, the radio show. all of them talking to you again and again and again and you, obviously, talking to your sglurs yeah. and former state senator here. if this is a race for second place which it appears to be. i agree that. you agree with that. everything that you re seeing and hearing, who do you think hats edge in that number two? i think ron desantis has the edge right now in the number two because he got governor kim reynolds endorsement popular in iowa and not only did she get behind a podium and say i like governor desantis and here s access to my turnout machine and, if it s going to be a cold blustery night in iowa on january 15 turnout becomes real,
to find new voters, that s for sure. so we can t be beaten on this policy wise. i think we ve already won the policy arguments on the economy, on education, on a number of issues. i think we ve got some work to do on the young people who think differently on abortion. perhaps, or guns or climate change. but even there, the democrats messages are usually cynical. the place i m really the thing i m really concerned about with this, laura , is that the left becomes a turnout machine with young people because influencers have this domino effect, lemming like effect of people, just all them wanting to be part of the same crowd. and if they succeed in that way, we re not doing a great job competing for ballots. we re just competing for votes. our candidates lost the early voting miserably last time. i mean, someone like dr. oz lost the early vote to john fetterman by over four to one . so we need to compete for ballots, not just voters and not just minds. and i think they re trying to do tha
we cannot be beaten on this policy wise. i think that we have already won the policy on the economy, education, a number of issues, we have done some work to do, yg people that think differently on guns, abortion or climate change. but the message can be really cynical. the thing that i am concerned about is that the left is a turnout machine with young people. influencers have this domino effect and if they succeed that way, we are not doing a good job competing for ballots or votes. the candidates lost the early voting miserably last time. i think doctor oz lost over 4-1. so we need to compete for ballots and not just voters. i have faith in the american
democrats and we would have won the elector y all vote based on the turnout. the top vote getter in states like arizona, new hampshire and georgia. three critical states we need to win the white house in 2024. the rnc turnout machine and look at ways to improve but the last election showed that we did turn out more republicans than democrats did. dana: looking forward to 2024 and you said this will be your last term you are serving. president biden looks like he is gearing up to announce for re-election. dnc has its winter meeting coming up at the end of the week. what are their vulnerabilities and what are the republicans in a position to go against them? one of the things that some republicans are concerned about if you have 17 candidates running at the same time, it will dilute the message as there are other republican infighting and not enough focus against going against biden. we don t have our field set yet, dana, as you know. our debates will start probably in july or august
we will see how many georgia republicans will walk through that door. look, greg bluestein is the authority on georgia politics, i would never question anything has to say. but, it was herschel walker being off the campaign trail, a negative for him or a net positive? that is a good question. he is talking about vampires and werewolves. so this seems to be to be a double edged sword, maybe some people on the campaign thought it was a good idea to keep him in the closet and work on the turnout machine, and see if they could kind of drag him into the middle. greg answer jean s question, because it is a good one. did somebody say, you know what, it is probably better for you to stay off the campaign trail?
