He might legitimately like running for office and not really care if he wins or loses, this is probably his last chance.

If he wants the POTUS track, he comes from a much stronger position as an ex-Governor in 28 when Trump will likely be at W Bush 2008 levels of popularity than a sitting Senatot forced to take a lot of unpopular votes.

You're right, that's probably his best angle. Chris Sununu might have something to say about that, though.

The 2028 Republican primary will be interesting. There hasn't been a seriously contested one since 2016 and the radicals are the establishment now.
