Once the campaign begins a year from now, and the donor dollars start rolling in, I think we will see Chris Murphy and Andy Beshear make significant gains in polling and fundraising, and Newsom will begin to fade even before the first votes are cast.

AOC won’t run - she is more likely to run for Schumer’s seat.

Shapiro…unsure, but I would like to see him run for Fetterman’s seat.

It's hard to know what the political waters might churn up in the next couple of years.

Betting and the prediction market are infesting everything, and corrupting everything they touch. At this rate, the next President will just be Kalshi.
