Things Jim Says on Podcasts

Had said Michelle Tafoya was probably about the best candidate Republicans could hope for. She's well known, got high name ID, but not from traditional politics. And I would note that, like, look, you mentioned the Keith Ellison being in trouble. Unfortunately, in the governor's race, it looks like Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar is running well ahead of Republican Lisa Demuth. So one of the interesting things is that, you know, Amy Klobuchar, I mean, a Democrat, undoubtedly. But she can say, look, I've been in Washington. I didn't have anything to do with the decisions of the state government over the last four years. So in a very strange way, usually you're trying to run as an outsider in Senate race.

And John Ossoff is probably going to win for the second time by a pretty solid margin in one of the seven most important states. And he's, you know, he's fairly young. It's a southern state, you know, like I'm just thinking strategically, this is a guy who you think we, and he says he's not interested. Now, of course, Barack Obama was on Meet the Press in like 2007 and said, oh, I'm not…

And he says, I'm not interested in running. And of course, then he turns around and runs. It's possible John…
