Nationalization of politics gives Senators and members of Congress higher name ID and allows them to talk about issues people are more focused on.
On the flipside though, I feel governors have a massive leg up going into 2024 from running Covid response in their states (provided it's an open contest and not Biden and Trump as nominees).
Really? I feel like it's a massive hinderance, since basically any response is either going to be seen as incompetence or authoritarian.
Frankly, so does DeSantis. There's a reason he's widely seen as the top non-Trump candidate.
