    Yeah, he’s running in an R+22 state that voted Trump over Biden by 40 points. He knows the D brand is dogshit in his state, and so he’s gonna drag it through the mud over the next year to give himself as much breathing room as possible. People don’t understand how blood red West Virginia is nowadays. The best way to make his comings and goings absolutely irrelevant is to hold Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, and Montana, and potentially take Florida and Texas. This map is absolutely brutal, as Dems are running to keep several R-leaning states, and Republicans aren’t running to keep anything D-leaning.
