I think it's something that's spontaneous. It's happening in the country where just tons and tons of people are coming out because they feel that democracy is at stake that we're in real trouble here.
I think it makes it more likely that Joe Biden will win the election. It makes it more likely that the Democrats will take over the Senate.
No, their problem is Anderson, he's got more support back in their districts in their states than they do and that gives him enormous -- it gives him enormous leverage against them.
If it is true, it's a dishonorable act and voters have to this November decide whether they want to discharge him or not.
