Basil Smikle on Dem El-Sayed: The Turnout Was Incredibly High, It Suggests That There Isn’t an Ideological Divide

RUSH EXCERPT:
SMIKLE: "It’s never going to be that easy. But I am heartened by the fact. I mean, if you’re a Democrat, you have to be heartened by the fact that there. They’ve shown signs of unity pretty quickly after the election. And I think to an earlier point that this is really important, a point that was made earlier, which is that turnout was incredibly high. And that’s critical in this moment because it suggests that there is an ideological divide, if you will. You know, considering how close the race was. But the fact that you had such great turnout means there’s incredible enthusiasm for the democratic candidate against any Republican in this case, Robert. So, you know, I’m glad to see the unity so quickly. And I hope going forward, they don’t really get into this inter or intra party tension that would, I think, ultimately tamp down turnout."
