As soon as today, Michigan lawmakers are expected to vote on a sweeping package of environmental bills, including legislation that requires the state to reach 100 percent clean energy by 2040.

    Personally not really. I think here being a Trump foil for Biden is ultimately going to cost her a chance at higher office. There’s some low hanging fruit from her tenure that would be problematic for presidential runs.

    She won re-election big, against a terrible candidate. Maybe 4 years from now things get forgotten or become less relevant and she has a chance to run.

      Well right on. I’m still shopping. My number one qualification for a progressive candidate is “has won election to some level of higher office”. I might disagree with you on the Trump foil thing being an issue. I think if you are trying to run to the center, sure. If you are running a progressive campaign, that shit won’t ever fly. You have to motivate a stonger base to the left of center, so its not necessarily relevant, or could even represent an advantage.
