Beshear and Shapiro are my other contenders that are governors.

Pete Buttigieg must be on any short list but I fear -America won’t vote for anyone from the gay community if we couldn’t even get two of the finest women contenders across the finish line.

Love AOC but this isn’t her moment (yet). America won’t vote for a woman atm.

Senator Von Hollen landed on my radar after going down to get Abrego Garcia out of CECOT and into a more humane prison.
