Now in Kansas, we have a report that a blue governor up for re-election next year (2022) is seemingly coming out against the Biden administration here with further vaccine mandates.
Noteworthy and probably a good thing for Murphy in NJ opting to remain mostly quiet on mandating via executive fiat thus far regarding any newer vaccine rules. At least until probably before his own election results get certified…
Seems especially true all the governors up for re-election will be wise in the short term to look at this from BOTH a science perspective and a political survival type of thing too.
A very big upset is likely nonetheless in NJ, albeit it was a state senator race. Everyone did think that was improbable, especially with this Sweeney guy being the current head honcho of the upper chamber. Here is an excerpt:
Republicans are also poised to flip a few seats in the Democratic-controlled state Legislature, and in a shocker, they’re on the verge of booting out state Senate President Stephen Sweeney with a candidate with no political experience. Many of those races remain too close to call.
