"It is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy: The people have spoken."
— Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) after winning re-election
It is just amazing how swing state Democrats nominate electoral titan after electoral titan while the Republicans nominate people who couldn’t get elected as dogcatchers.
(yes everyone I am aware Warnock would be replaced by Kemp, I’m not looking at it from that angle and he’s probably not running anyway. I’m just commenting on his electoral strength)

IMO Warnock is better. Whitmer's fine but Warnock gets us one critical advantage and is the best speaker out of any elected Dem around.
@lxeagle17
Between Warnock/Whitmer/Kelly (not a great speaker but a hero astronaut)/ Shapiro/Fetterman/Polis I really think Dems have a historically good swing(ish) state bench and that explains a lot of 2022.
