For context, it was part of a speech to party volunteers , so it follows that it would be more “method” than “content”. She also said that we should start picking the 2028 candidates and having that conversation now rather than waiting until 2027 since it will plainly be a very contested primary.
That part wasn’t able to be construed in an unflattering way though, so it didn’t make it into the headline or conversation.

I see yes. Thanks for giving more context.
I do think they should actively start talking about candidates for sure yes. So I very much agree with her on this.
