But Spencer Cox is a pragmatist and a unifer
Utah lawmakers are planning to convene in an unexpected special session this Tuesday. Why? To move the filing deadline for congressional candidates, to give the GOP more time to appeal the ruling that created a Dem seat.

It makes complete sense that he would read People
If you’re wondering: has People magazine’s coverage of Trump’s second presidency been pissing him off, per our sources: yes, the literal president has noticed and he’s not pleased, particularly the framing and repeated coverage of his health.

Lutnick: "These policies are good for elections, but they're not good for governing, they're not good for leading, and they're not good for the people who voted him in. They just bought somebody's good TV ads and they'll pay for it. It's really sad."

This. This. This. Run the race for the electorate and their issues
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.
