A blessing for people of Michigan and the rest of the United States.
Pete is a joke.
Well, at least he can talk and isn’t interested in hucking Tezlurs on the White House lawn.
Good to know. A wise decision on Pete’s part. He’s pretty savvy, though it’s obvious that even the tiniest of gestures is a calculated political move. He’s probably been hard-wired this way since he was a teenager.
A run for US Senate in MI would be about as much carpet-baggery as Liz Cheney’s attempt to pretend she was a scion of the Equality State when she ran successfully for Wyoming’s one and only US Representative, after moving there less than a year earlier. (And then suffered a historic defeat when she failed to represent them in her second term.)
Or–even worse–Hillary Clinton’s also successful attempt to curry favor with the Empire State–one that loves its Dems–when she successfully ran for US Senator in New York. Again, she had no real connection but she stuck with it through most of the 2000s, which is a comparatively short run for a senator.
So Pete “relocated in recent years” to Michigan? How long ago is recent? Wasn’t he supposedly Secretary of Transportation until January? I mean, I get why he wouldn’t deign return to the Hoosier State; he doesn’t stand a chance of aligning his politics with Indiana at the state level. But his oh-shucks golly-gee Midwestern persona (did he have the same acting coach as Tim Walz?) would make him potentially viable in a blue or purple Midwestern state, both of which are dwindling in number but Michigan still fits the bill. Is that why he chose summer resort town Traverse City?
Something tells me, though, if he were desperate for a relatively high-profile political position (as he obviously is) that he could gallivant right into Indianapolis, run for mayor, and win in a landslide.
