ETA: I don't see Newsom or Whitmer or any other Dem jumping into the race because of how late it is. I think either of them could beat her if there had been primaries, but they don't have the same name recognition for most Americans right now.
Ya, because if they replace her, they look like assholes. They did it to themselves.
Now, tinfoil hat time. Knowing how Trump feels about war, does Israel go now before he gets in the way? Do they wait long enough to chance it with only two months to move if he gets elected? The timing for Yemen to blow up, no pun intended, is quite timely. The ME could get real froggy in the coming days/weeks. I don't think it'll be months.
