He knows his audience. I know my audience. And it’s a bunch of women looking for someone to advocate for them every single day. And I understand people are like, oh God, you’re going to focus the whole time on abortion. Yeah, I am, because it’s not about abortion. It’s about women’s right to their bodies.
