Folks, I almost spilled my coffee reading this one. It seems like a bunch of Republicans who have denied or questioned the 2020 presidential election results are now running for governor in key battleground states. I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right? We’ve got Rep. Andy Biggs in Arizona, Rep. John James in Michigan, state treasurer Stacy Garrity in Pennsylvania, and Rep. Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin, all of whom have cast doubt on the 2020 election results in some way or another. And let’s not forget Rick Jackson, a billionaire healthcare executive and first-time politician, who’s running for governor in Georgia and has also questioned the election results.
These candidates have all made some pretty interesting comments about the 2020 election. For example, Biggs claimed that the governor of Arizona at the time, Doug Ducey, could have invalidated the election results if he had wanted to. And James has falsely alleged that Trump won Michigan in the 2020 election, despite the fact that Biden actually won the state. It’s like they’re trying to rewrite history or something.
But here’s the thing: if these candidates are elected governor, they’ll have a lot of power when it comes to the 2028 presidential election. They’ll be able to cooperate with federal election investigations, sign or veto election legislation, and even certify the winner of the election. So, it’s a bit concerning that some of them have questioned the validity of the 2020 election results.
Now, I know some of these candidates have tried to walk back their comments or clarify their positions. For example, Tiffany has said that he supports the FBI’s investigation into the 2020 election results and will certify the winner of the 2028 election if he’s elected governor. And Garrity has said that she acknowledges Biden won the 2020 election, but still thinks there were some irregularities. But it’s hard to shake the feeling that they’re just trying to have it both ways.
In any case, it’s going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. Will these candidates be able to convince voters that they’re the right people for the job, despite their questionable comments about the 2020 election? Or will their past statements come back to haunt them? Only time will tell.
As I finish my coffee and wrap up this article, I’m left with one final thought: bless their hearts. It’s going to be a wild ride, folks.
