Bless. I would rather it have been Walker to go, but this is still better than a three-way race.

Hopefully its for a unity ticket, but the likely answer is that hes dropping out.

To gain name recognition to prepare for a potential run in 2020?

Did he have an issue with name recognition though?

Especially because we never know for sure what's happening in Alaska until election day?

Perhaps to reintroduce with voters. It does seem weird why our best candidate would go for a vanity run for the governorship

Brgich is probably done with politics and Dunleavy will be elected due to the split

If Begich drops out there won't be a split...

It’s not as if Begich dropping out makes this unwinnable for Republicans. Walker was ahead of Dunleavy 47%-43% in the last Democratic poll, it should be a close race.

Begich's tweet doesn't seem like an "I'm about to drop out" tweet.

It is weird, nothing hes done signifys that he will drop out. I still think that its most likely, but its also possible that he will merge tickets with Walker, with him (probably) being on top, since hes announcing.
