if she would end up being my personal choice but I think she needs to go for it.

I think she will be about about 40 years old when she gets in the Senate if she wins in 2028. Winning statewide would also be important to show she can win over a wider and more diverse group of voters if she has interest in running for President ine day.

She can demonstrate that with a Senate win. It would be helpful to see her win on the state level, which I think she can themaguffin Nov 2025 #32

that is the same thing I said Celerity Nov 2025 #33
