(39,449 posts)I have to say that our Democratic Governors have more power and press magnetism right now than the D Senators and Representatives. It's sad to say, but our legislators have all been cut off at the knees on most issues.
The Governors - such as Newsom, Hochul, Pritzker, Shapiro, and several others - can hold a press conference in their capital cities and get noticed by their local and regional media, sometimes national media too. I like that these Governors aren't afraid to talk back to Chump and also get the constituents ready for "action." People will often make phone calls, write emails and letters to the editor after they have heard their Governor's views on certain issues.
The leadership doesn't seem to be coming from Democrats in Congress, other than a few bright stars.
