Healey has solid approval ratings from what I was able to find. If she is vulnerable it will be over the shelter stuff, but I don't see it putting her in practical danger at the ballot box. No one with any traction will challenge her in a primary and republicans aren't going to try to find another Baker, who would struggle against an incumbent even if they could.

The shelter stuff is her biggest problem, yes, but there's been a lot of disgruntlement about her not being nearly as strong in decrying the administration as, say, Newsome or Pritzker. She did a lot of bipartisan braying, which didn't go over well with Trump-haters (which is still a majority of MA voters). She's gotten tougher about the tariffs, at least. As for primary challenge? Dizoglio might get a bit of traction. Enough? Good question.
Here's one of the big issues: based on her term as state AG, a lot of us expected an actual lefty. She hasn't proven to be that. Can she be primaried from the left? Probably not, but I wouldn't say definitely not.

She's going nowhere; it is bordering on the delusional to think otherwise
