Gretchen Whitmer has already said she won't take the nomination right now.
Why? If you're an up-and-coming democrat, even our lard butt, obese governor, why would you pick up the ball now and risk losing against Trump who has momentum right now?
More than likely, you would wait it out, and run against Vance, Haley or another GOP first runner.
No one likes to run as a loser.
From a strategic standpoint, I doubt anyone other than Harris gets the nod. The deafening statement today came from the Obamas. They DID NOT endorse Harris but instead called for a nominating process.
Promises Made, Promises Kept! Republicans stood, the liberal left wept.
Opi, please stop with the Haley talk, she has no chance now or ever. As for Kamala, do you think she will blow this???Damn, Tim Walz really really really wants to be a U.S. Senator pretty badly.
I wouldn't write Haley off at all. She was a strong speaker at the convention for a reason. She gave Trump all he wanted in the primary season, and she is by far the strongest woman in the GOP right now.Promises Made, Promises Kept! Republicans stood, the liberal left wept.
Trump stomped her into the ground, she couldn't even win her state. She is the strongest woman in the GOP although she wouldn't be if Candice Owens got more involved. That is one debate Nikki wouldn't want.
Trump will probably give her some gig if he wins and then she will most likely just quit again. I don't hate the woman, I just don't see her as a legit candidate.Damn, Tim Walz really really really wants to be a U.S. Senator pretty badly.
