There are stronger candidates than going with a newcomer to the state.

Sure, but he's got to the best pure politician of the bunch, especially when it comes to interviews and public speaking. Will be an interesting primary to watch

Whitmer is a better politician imo(no disrespect to Pete)

The realist in me expects her to say "no" to the Senate in 2026 if she has Presidential ambitions. These days for us, the Governors mansions look like better launchpads than the US Senate. Barack Obama was the exception, rather than the rule.

Yup. She has bigger, more important things to do. Also interesting that DeSantis had a Senate seat he could have set himself up to run for. DidnтАЩt go for it, either.

I think DeSantis knew Trump was not going to endorse him
