Even now, I have a few reservations. I hope it doesn't get framed as some kind of DEI coronation. Well, I know the qons will try, but I mean, will it stick.

But if she's the choice, she's the choice. There are some alternatives I'd rather be running, but it is what it is. I'm still very pumped that Joe stepped down.

Republicans have been crying wolf about DEI for so long, there's no way that's gonna stick.
