Shenna Bellows’ Gubernatorial Bid

Matt Gagnon criticizes Shenna Bellows’ potential gubernatorial bid, citing her poor political skills and past actions, such as attempting to remove Trump from the ballot, which he believes could harm the Democratic party. He argues that Bellows’ partisan behavior as Secretary of State is a conflict of interest and calls for her resignation. Gagnon predicts a crowded primary field for both parties, with up to 20 Republicans and 10 Democrats vying for the nomination. He expects the campaign to be intense, with significant fundraising and debates, and notes the potential for an independent run.
