[0:00] Welcome back to the takeout political
[0:02] panel time. Let me introduce them. Mike
[0:04] Han, Republican strategist and former
[0:06] deputy digital director for the National
[0:08] Republican Senatorial Committee. John
[0:09] McCarthy, friend of the program,
[0:11] Democratic strategist and former senior
[0:12] adviser to President Biden. Okay, credit
[0:15] where credit is due. Politico, the
[0:16] conversation, that's Dasha Burns's
[0:18] podcast. Talked to Angie Nixon, the
[0:20] Democratic nominee for Senate in
[0:22] Florida. She's currently running based
[0:24] on the polling average about seven
[0:25] points behind the Republican incumbent
[0:27] Ashley Moody. and she said one of the
[0:29] problems in her race is underinvestment
[0:31] by institutional Democratic donors. And
[0:33] she said there might be an explanation
[0:35] for it. Let's play it.
[0:36] >> People are saying, "Oh, I don't think
[0:39] she can win in the South because people
[0:41] are so racist." I don't think it's
[0:43] something nefarious or that people are
[0:46] trying to like that uh donors,
[0:49] Democratic donors are like racist
[0:51] towards me. I would say it's that they
[0:54] think that the state is racist and
[0:55] they're just hesitant to like donate
[0:58] because of it.
