That man is everything what the USA needs right now though. Such a shame there are so many backward ass cowabunga caveman able to vote.
I’ve seen the interviews with voters who did not know he was gay, and after they learned that fact they immediately wanted to retract their vote smh..
Please no. Us Illinoisans would like to keep him to ourselves for as long as possible. We don't get competent governors who won't land in prison after their term every new moon.
As much as i think it should be her, realistically, she is not a winning choice(they have ran two women, and both of them lost to republicans) most likely Walz and Beshear, or Booker(his senate speech has won him some fans)
Now I am not saying impossible, but there is a fair number of people who would make it a point to vote just to vote against buttegieg becauae he is gay, they would probably also vote against Shapiro or Pritzker because they are Jewish, and lastly would vote against aoc because she is a she.
The difference is that AOC spins up the base, the last few nominees from the DNC have been incredibly bland. You can't run a standard milktoast politician against a populist running on a nationalism platform.
House Rep -> President is a somewhat uncommon jump for people to do. Usually, people spend time as Senator, Governor, or VP beforehand. Aside from our current president, the last person to be president without having done one of those roles first was Eisenhower, who never had an elected office before but did have a lot of experience in the military during WWII.
Also, in terms of age, she'd be the youngest president we've ever had, by several years.
I'd 100% support her for president, but she does objectively have less experience than your typical president, and that definitely will be used against her in a campaign.
The idea that I have to hate woman to think executive experience is important for the most impactful executive position on the planet is pathetically laughable. She has a lot of potential to do the job well, but it’s too important a role to give to someone who has never led anything before. Bring passionate doesn’t magically impart the ability to manage such a complex operation as the federal Executive department well. Give her a cabinet position, make her a governor, I don’t care. She just can’t learn how to be an exec on the job as President. Leading such a large organization is an actual skill that needs to be developed like any other.
Gov Shapiro from PA whom was Kamala's other choice for a VP running mate. He most definitely could be a strong contender for President.
Senator Corey Booker that just protested against Trump for over 25 hours on the Senate floor and broke a 75 year filibuster record held by Strom Thurman this week. The last hour and a half of his speech had me cheering and in tears! Amazing!
I can see Newsom running too. Possibly AOC. Maybe Tim Walz.

Next run will be Walz and AOC.
I would prefer AOC and Walz, but you guys are not seemingly ready for such a wild ride.
