E Pluribus Unum: Don't think that's happening.

I think he and the NC Dem Party is gunning for the 2026 Senate Seat, and Roy's basically the best bet for that

Yeah I think it's better that Cooper stays in NC and runs for Senate in 2026, if we want a chance at flipping the seat.

As for Governors Healey and Shapiro, I think it would be better if they both run for a second term as Governor (especially Shapiro because he's popular here and PA is swingy, and if Harris wins and Shapiro is not the nominee it'll be tough to hold, unless of course GOP nominates a Mastriano-type, but that's a whole different discussion)

Senators Coons, Cortez-Masto, and (ex-Senator) Jones as well as AG Ellison, I think would be fine and pragmatic choices. Don't know enough about the others to say if they would be good choices though.

Whoever is nominated is most likely to face a Republican Senate and thats going to factor into whoever is put up for a vote.

For Trump he'll get who he wants from a Republican Senate.

For Harris its more difficult. I think you can count out Masto since she is a sitting Democratic Senator in a State with a Republican Governor. Also, I'd be hard pressed to find one Republican Senator willing to vote for "pragmatic" Keith Ellison.

Tbh, I didn't think of that. I forgot Nevada had a Republican Governor lol. So that rules out Cortez-Masto.

As for Ellison, I didn't see anything bad about Ellison at all, other than what far-right MAGA shills like Loomer have been saying, which makes me believe that he might be a fine choice, but you do have a point, I don't know if he'd get any GOP votes. Somebody like Delaware Senator Chris Coons or former Alabama Senator Doug Jones might get GOP votes.

Ellison's big brained AF

An AG nod would be a good stepping stone for the Prez.

A proposed personnel roster circulating within Donald Trump's campaign and transition operation lists Aileen Cannon, the federal judge who threw out Trump's classified documents case, as a possible candidate for attorney general, multiple sources familiar with the matter have told ABC News. [Link]
