More like Scott will lose his primary to a rando because of this
This doesn’t change much
Phil has always been firmly anti Trump. Supports impeachment, opposes excessive ICE raids, etc. Endorsing Bill Weld probably won’t hurt him that bad.
A literal nobody got a third of the vote against him in the Republican primary in 2018, so he clearly has some issues with the base if someone semi-credible from the Trump wing decided to take him out
That was an immediate reaction to the gun bill. Will people remember? I doubt many will
Phil’s current challenger is some pastor
It was mostly the anti-Trump aspect than the gun aspect.
If you look at another moderate Republican, you see this same weakness in the primary. Charlie Baker, who has a monstrous approval rating, did
worse in his race vs a some guy. And Baker had not done anything to specifically piss off the Republicans, hell, his approval with them was high. They just didnt vote for him and instead voted for a rando. Though these states have moderate Republicans for governors, their R base is just as Trumpified as the rest of the nation.
Now, I sincerely doubt that a rando beats Scott, but if someone of minor importance were to jump in, it would certainly be a tough race.
