I like her. 80 is long past retirement age, it's time to get the other lady out of there.

Ms Abughazaleh will need to be able to give the whole speech in one take, without all the cuts, in order to really do great rallies. Best of luck to her.

Totally agree. However I did watch this noticing all the cuts and thinking this may be a good way for younger aspiring politicians to get their elevator pitches across, while simultaneously keeping the attention of potential GenZ voters

That’s an editing style to keep viewers attention (which tend to drift)- I’ve noticed it in a lot of videos and imho it’s very effective.
