Disappointing it’s an 80 year old and not someone being groomed for a future run, but overall better than I expected. I guess it’s the same logic as pairing Biden with Obama.

minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-29 months agoA lot of the progressive pushes we had here in Minnesota are from him leading the charge. Him and Peggy Flannigan who’ll replace him as gov when he resigns. (Iirc, Peggy will be our first native governor? This will be interesting.)
