This is what I’ve been saying! Winning would be AMAZING but a close race is still meaningful and shows the way
Every Democrat who's ever wanted to donate or run in a race where the odds were stacked in their favor is going to look at this & say "this is my chance, let's start making calls & collecting signatures". Makes the whole party's job 10 times easier
