I honestly don’t know what to think at this point; just putting this out there.

    I believe modern presidential campaigns focus their war chest into swing states, and typically less into stronghold states; they typically would have already done that in the primary against people of the same party. My concern is more around if they don’t have the name recognition, and didn’t have the primary to build that, they may have to spread their funds more than Trump would at this point in time.

    Then again, I’m sure Fox would spread such name with vitriol, so people would at least hear about the candidate. Them negging on Harris already at the RNC is only increasing the chance of them having a more viable opponent, but they can’t help themselves when the crowd eats it up.

    But I may be being too critical. For the typically non-conservative, maybe just having a Dem on the ticket that isn’t Biden, is young, and they know nothing about, may be a good thing. If they haven’t commented on Isreal/Gaza (or foreign politics at all really), and are a state level actor like a Governor (and thus has little influence on national economics), maybe there won’t be much for swing voters/independents, or progressives to have a grievance about. Will really depend on who it is.
