Oh come on doesn’t the man have grandchildren? He should just retire and enjoy his final years
While it doesn’t particularly bother me that King is running again (he’s basically just an Independent in name only, he’s essentially a party line Democrat), I do think it’s very odd that politicians regularly run for office well into their 70s and 80s. I imagine when I’m that old, I won’t want to be working.
They only average like two days of work a week lol. Old senators in safe seats have plenty of time to spend with their grandchildren. It's honestly a great retirement job.
