Andy Beshear has the highest approval rating of any Democratic governor in the country at 67% (net 39%) in a Trump 30 state. He's a 2nd term governor and he's only 46. Not nominating him in 2028 would be the biggest recruitment failure in the history of the Democratic Party.

NEWS in ME: Manchin told me that Schumer has assured him since the election that he supports passing a permitting reform bill in the lame duck, subject to negotiations with Congressional leaders. Big development as Schumer was reluctant to move a bill ahead of elex

A decision Ohio Democrats have to make in the coming months: Do they once again rely on longtime leaders like @SherrodBrown and @TimRyan — well-known, can raise $, but have fallen short as Ohio turned redder — for upcoming Senate and governor races? Or do they take a chance on newer names like @DrAmyActon, @Russo4Ohio, @GregLandsman, @EmiliaSykesOH?

Peter Thiel reluctantly agreed with Elon Musk's belief that if the Democratic Party won the 2024 election, it could consolidate power into a one-party state. "I didn't want to believe Elon when he said this, so I texted him and told him I hadn't believed you when you said this at first. But I think this is because, psychologically, I don't want to believe that." "The sense in which I felt that he was correct was if Trump, with much better substance and much better on so many things, could not win in 2024 against the machine, then the machine would always win." "And if the machine always wins, then you no longer have a democracy. You certainly no longer have a democratic process within the Democratic Party. We can always debate the election shenanigans in November 2020." "The far more extraordinary thing was in March of 2020 when Biden came in fourth or fifth in Iowa and New Hampshire and then somehow got rammed through South Carolina. All the other candidates drop out." "So, this extremely non-democratic primary in the Democratic Party in 2020 led to an even less democratic process in which Biden was replaced with Harris." "If the machine could defeat Trump, I thought it was reasonable that it would gain even more power and somehow be unbeatable, and the country would become like California, a one-party state." @elonmusk @peterthiel
