Mike Pence did one remarkable thing in his life, and it was important. He refused to go along with Trump’s scheme to overturn the election. Unfortunately, after four years of sucking up to Trump, after he did his one remarkable thing, he was unwilling to do what Chris Christie did and break completely with his old hero. As a consequence he was unable to attract either the anti-Trump voters or the MAGA crowd who will never forgive him. So he prayed and then dropped out of the presidential race. No need to pray. It was foregone.
Dean Phillips, a Democratic Congressman from Minnesota, showed up in New Hampshire and announced he is running against Biden. This was a gutsy move, since almost every Democratic politician has already endorsed Biden. On the other hand, the average Democratic voter may have different ideas. If Phillips is able to get on a number of state ballots (always iffy when the establishment doesn’t want you), I think his vote totals might come as a surprise, especially to President Biden.
