I assume the legislature will pass a law to make Baker pick a Dem. If he doesn't want to put his thumb on the scale by picking someone very ambitious, he could pick Michael Capuano.
But most likely, Healey or Moulton is the easy choice.
As much as this state puked on itself in September, I’m (mildly) confident it will redeem itself if given the chance in regards to a warren successor.
It’s boring but Massachusetts 3 statewide offices seem pretty predictable at this point if the 3 individuals WANT those offices - I have a hard time seeing them not win them. Pressley then Kennedy for Senate and Healey for Governor.
Moulton has proven to be a hacks hack. I liked him a lot but I’m very lukewarm on him. He’s not as bad as Markey but still. He would be a horrific choice honestly
With that said, Warren will not be in the cabinet. Period.
Hopefully Baker doesn’t run in 2022 and hopefully Warren retires in 2024 and most importantly hope Markey finally gets the hell out in 2026.
