00:00Yeah, I'm wondering how you're going to reassure front liners and also
00:13potentially incumbents who are facing primary challenges that they're going to
00:16get the resources they need to run their races. We're going to raise the
00:20resources necessary as we did in the last Congress. D triple C has
00:23consistently outraised the Republican National Campaign Committee, not
00:28withstanding the fact that House Republicans are in the majority. That
00:32was the case in the last Congress. That will be the case in this Congress as
00:37already demonstrated by the January and February numbers. We will continue to
00:42make clear that in terms of spending priorities that our front line members
00:47are first amongst equals because you cannot achieve addition and we only need
00:53to flip three seats in order to take back the majority, but you cannot achieve
00:59addition if you allow subtraction to take place. So we're committed to making sure
01:04that every single front line member returns to the House of Representatives
01:11after the November 2026 election.
