MO-GOV 2020 megathread

[Frenchrepublican]

Is it possible the MO Dems would leave Parson virtually unopposed in 2020 ?

It's very unlikely. They will almost certainely find a sacrificial lamb.

If Kander's health issues get sorted out he would be the best candidate for the democrats in 2020, otherwise I would think Galloway would rather wait until 2024 than face an incumbent

I don’t think Kander will run again for office

Missouri’s new abortion ban has Nicole Galloway leaning toward campaign for governor

She probably needs to find another issue to run on because abortion is not a winning issue in a such pro life state

[Frenchrepublican]

I agree that Galloway is moving towards a run, and would likely win the primary if she did so. Missouri is often surprising to outsiders down ballot, and honestly, abortion is not typically the dividing line here in statewide campaigns. Parson will be a hard nut to crack, especially with Trump on the ballot, but Missouri Democrats have a lot of experience running campaigns against more establishment Republican candidates than they do against an unknown flush with outside money like Greitens. Also, Galloway doesn't have to win to make a big impact: if it is close, she will likely be up in MO-02 by quite a bit and could possibly knock off Wagner, which would make every Missouri Democrat cheer.

McCaskill won MO 2nd, still dems didn’t defeat Wagner
