Kamala Harris has expressed regret for not voicing concerns about President Joe Biden running for a second term when many Americans felt he was too old.
I have seen Whitmer described as somewhat pprogressive. I’ve never seen Pritzker described that way, although his record is definitely left of your typical filthy rich Democrat.
Pritzker is 60, Whitmer is 54. They could easily run on the same ticket and, if successful, Whitmer can run for President after. Maybe by then a woman would have a shot.
I doubt it would happen this way, but 8 years of Pritzker/Whitmer followed by 8 years of Whitmer/AOC could be what we need to fix the mess Trump is making.
I like Whitmer. I’m not sure I’d look to Michigan for any progressives, though. Almost all wealthy folks and big businesses here are right-leaning, which means a progressive is going to hit a financial wall in trying to fund their campaign.
That said, she might appeal in the essential swing states.
I agree on Pritzker. He’s solid. Don’t know enough about Whitmer.
