the woman who lost the coin flip, shelly simons, is running today.i think we're poised to take both houses. we've got a great operation and like 2017, we've got great candidates running. so that's a real opportunity. and remember, the republicans recently in the special session to address gun violence in the aftermath of yet another mass shooting, they gavelled out the special session in 90 minutes because they were kowtowing to the nra. elections matter and taking over these two houses matters now and it matters for redistricting. kentucky is an amazing story. as your reporter correctly pointed out, trump won by 30 points and he has to go there. same thing in mississippi. you didn't mention jim hood. jim hood's the current attorney general. four years ago, if you look at the elections state-wide, jim was the biggest vote getter. so we've got two states that have been beet red. mississippi went solidly for trump as well. you have two democratic candidates and what they have in common is they're focusing on local issues. andy's dad, steve, built one o
