I think some news “leaked” that Harris was looking at governors.
I have no idea how true that is, it’s just something I saw a brief headline for.
There’s also the fact that losing a senator is arguably much worse than losing a governor. If Harris and Kelly win (Which would be incredible) whoever replaced Kelly would be up for reelection in 2026, at a time that would probably not benefit Democrats, in a state that is very purple.
This is significant because the Senate already favors Republicans, and picking a governor does not create this issue.
Personally, I still stand by my original thought that having an astronaut in the White House would be fucking cool. But I also see why it could create a problem down the line.
