    Sure, speaking in terms of why he could bring more votes:

    • He was a teacher for 20 years and has a Midwestern small town vibe that could appeal to a lot of voters
    • He has so much charisma and isn’t afraid to call out far right leadership, but he does it in a way that does not alienate that voter base. He has even taken his message to fox news.
    • He started the whole “weird” thing that is now being used effectively to nullify Trump and Vance’s empty rhetoric.
    • His record as gov in Minnesota speaks for itself
    • He’s very popular among labor unions
