00:00Shoycott, obviously your chief of staff, former chief of staff, is running in San Francisco.
00:04That primary's in June, obviously.
00:06You're not going to have a reporter tell you to endorse, but, like, is that something you'reâ
00:10are you at least monitoring the race, looking at it?
00:13I mean, what's your stance on Shoycott?
00:14Because, like, you have a closer relationship.
00:16Yeah, I think for me overall, it's more aboutâ
00:19I'm trying to think about the role that I am trying to play more broadly in these things.
00:26You know, it'sâwe've got 435 seats in Congress, right?
00:34And there is this kind of moment where it's like whenâand not just with this race, but with any race.
00:39Once you go in, then it's like, what about this? What about this? What about this one?
00:42And I'm one person with, you know, a pretty amazing crack but also lean team.
00:50And so we're thinking about kind of, like, how much of myself I'm pouring into this
00:54and how much of myself we want to make sure that we're, you know, pouring into the task at hand,
01:00like, you know, what we've got going on here.
01:03Soâbut I think thatâwhat I will say is that I think that the primary environment that we're seeing is really
01:11great.
01:11I think that progressives have already notched some really impressive victories this early into the primary season.
01:20And we've got another, what, six or seven months of it to go.
01:24And I'm looking forward to having a lot of new colleagues here in November that we canâyou know,
01:30it's been a lonely, really lonely road for the first eight years.
01:34And I'm really hoping that it'll be a little less lonely in November.
01:37My boss has a book about that.
01:41You
