Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

The 23% "unsure" are a few weeks away from being "very sure". The sticker shock they'll experience during open enrollment should solidify it.
