United States US State & Territory Governorships Megathread

[49ersfootball]

No I think the FBI is in for a world of hurt, becoming blantantly parazin like they have recently done, is pretty much a recipe for people coming after you when the worm turns, and going after a governor canadate, well that means that the state GOP will find ways to make the FBI's life more difficult.

Its a crossing of a pretty firm line, after a lot of other stuff, my money is that the FBI is going to be investigated and a lot of people will get sacked.

MI GOP has gone crazy!

Remind them what happens to cops that get sent to prison. I'm certain they would like the reminder after being arrested.

Yet Whitmer still likely getting reelected. Big question is whether she runs for the United States Senate in 2024 if & when Stabenow gets pressured to retire ?

 

[Sergeant Foley]

Well, that escalated.

Congratulations on the reelection of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D).

Let's not forget about former Detroit PD Police Chief James Craig and several other Republicans got kicked off the ballot.

 

[Rocinante]

So Michigan is just arresting or kicking off the ballots, the Democrat's opponents.

Democracy is even more dead than I previously thought.

I honestly think this will backfire.

Larry Hogan was a Republican governor in a deep blue state. My impression is that he won initially because MD voters were sick and tired of high taxes and lagging economy under Dem governors. After years of Hogan's governance, another Republican candidate may not be able to maintain the same appeal against the general blue bias. Then again, Republicans do have general anti-Democrat winds at their back right now. And their Virginia neighbors down south were thought to be solidly blue, but a Republican won the governor's race there last year.

So, I think the election leans Democrat, but it's hard to call for sure. Definitely one of the races to watch.

My prediction is whoever the MD Dems have as their nominee (mail-in ballots will decide who wins the primary there): I have it as Likely DEM Pick-Up: winning back the MD Government House (Residence of the MD Governor) after an 8 year absence.

I just do NOT see Cox using the aggressive playbook that Youngkin used successfully in VA; considering that both chambers of the MD General Assembly are controlled by the MD Dems.

I agree with my cousin @49ersfootball that Moore is likely the next Governor of Maryland
