Slotkin worried she will be dragged down by Biden

She also said polls were underestimating Trump in summer of 2020....and she was right. Hopefully Craig runs a cruddy campaign and loses the primary, he scares me the most

It's pretty funny how in 2020 we were told that we needed to nominate someone more moderate like Biden instead of Bernie or Liz Warren because the latter two would drag down the rest of the Democratic ticket and now here we are 4 years later being told that Biden is going to drag down the rest of the ticket

She’s not wrong to worry about that — she’d easily have beaten this particular GOP field if this seat had been up in 2022. The fact that it’s up in 2024 and Biden is leading the ticket is about the only hope Republicans have here. People like Rogers, Hovde, and McCormick are horrendously out of touch with a lot of the folks who have been souring on the national Democratic party in the last decade — many of these "stellar GOP recruits" couldn’t get elected dogcatcher in a neutral environment/midterm with the spotlight on them.

Rogers is bad but he's still better than the last 2 and also I think unlike McCormick, he is not guaranteed the nomination even with NRSC backing. Craig is literally a minority police officer who was a former democrat, republican voters would love to vote for someone like that, #back the blue and prove they aren't racist

Craig doesn’t strike a lot of confidence in me ever since his paperwork scandal.

Rogers on the other hand…

He has yet to prove he can run a campaign successfully but aesthetically he is much much stronger than Rogers and it's not even close.

Are they seriously trying for McCormick? He gives strong Romneyish vibes, and quick reminder that Romney lost PA by quite a comfortable margin. He's not going to be winning over many Democrats since he's not going to fool many people if he attempts a "moderate" persona, and he doesn't strike me as particularly inspiring to the base, either.

Imo they should consider someone like Mike Kelly or Guy Reschenthaler. Kelly has a record of a genuine workhorse and good representative in Congress, something he can definitely tout, and given that Erie County is PA's quintessential bellwether county, flipping that (as I suppose he would) certainly wouldn't hurt. Reschenthaler is younger and can represent the "younger generation" and "a new generation of voices" (considering that Casey's seeking a fourth term, and a lot of his popularity ties back to his father, who atp many younger Pennsylvanians don't remember in the slightest).

Yes, McCormick is the presumptive nominee. Basically a "it's his turn" argument given how close the 2022 primary was.

Mike Kelly is 75 years old, and I think any bipartisan cred he might have can be pretty easily shed away by pointing out he voted against certifying the election.

Guy Reschenthaler is pretty clearly being groomed to be a future speaker. Personally, I don't like him anyways, he just comes off as a crybaby. He also voted against certifying the election.
