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.

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

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.
