    What caused Kelly to crash right around the 31st? I don’t recall hearing anything that would have caused it.

      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.

    I feel like buttigieg has been pushing hard for this. He showed up out of the blue on my YouTube feed a couple of weeks ago and I never watched anything related to him that would tell the algorithm I’m interested in him. I’ve been seeing a bunch of stuff with him lately but literally none of the others at all.

    Wondering if the new shit that came out a couple hours ago will effect Shapiros odds(something about Palestinians being too violent and battle minded to exist in a state, something from College). Vance is getting put through the ringer over something he never even said so…we’ll see
