AK-GOV: Will Begich run?

[NewYorkExpress]

Either he runs for Senate in 2020, an open Governors seat in 2022 or against Murkowski in 2022 (that third option is theoretically possible...he's got to be seeing Murkowski consistently struggling to secure her right flank and thinking he can beat her).

Frankly, I think Sullivan is going to be safe in 2020. Unless some kind of scandal emerges or something.

Probably, but it's worth stirring up the pot and for the DSCC to test how well either Begich or Berkowitz would do against him, particularly if either a) Trump is still dreadfully unpopular or b) the crazy wing primaries Sullivan. Or both!

It's not like they have too many targets in 2030. They have to get their A-list candidates AND hope Trump is extremely unpopular still AND that the Bannonite/Fox News crowd primaries out a few incumbents (Collins in particular) to make significant gains. With that, they'd have a decent shot at CO, NC, ME, AK, MT, IA and GA. But particularly past NC and CO, major things would have to go their way in the other states (which isn't really out of the question, though, by any means)
