Gov. Whitmer Won't Run Even if Biden Steps Down
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
No different than how the GQP ignored Mike Pence when he wanted to replace Orange Jesus. As I have said, "my turn" is more often than not, a losing formula.
If Beshear is VP on the Dem ticket this year, can he bring Kentucky's electoral votes to the Dems?
I'm skeptical, but what do I know?
Harris - Beshear
Newsom - Beshear
Whitmer - Beshear
Amy - Beshear
Pete - Beshear
Hillary - Beshear
What about if he's the top of the ticket?
Maybe if he's at the top. Maybe
The big thing for me is I tend to prefer candidates who have ran and won in swing states or red states. Winning a primary in California only means that you can get a bunch of Dems to like you. Winning a general in a swing state or a red state means that you are able to pull independent voters and voters who might not normally vote for someone in your party.
Trump won Kentucky by 26 points in 2020. I would recommend a different strategy.
I don't see Biden as fit to serve any longer. From other things I've read and heard, the slide has been dramatic over the past 6 months. Jill is one of the very few people on the planet who could advise him that it's time to step down and open up the field for a younger candidate. She's not pushing him in that direction. That's where it's coming from.
Nobody is bringing in Kentucky, but a more moderate voice like Beshear that can win in Kentucky would appeal to moderates in swing states.
