All other Republican U.S. Senate Candidates announced immediately after the 5th of November 2024.

Miguez joining the race so late splits the Republican votes even more now.

He has to know this. And is possibly getting paid to run to further fracture those votes.

Also, this means he will not be running for State Senate, so it’s US Senate for him, or nothing at all.

Am I wrong in any way in my assessment?

Cassidy is paying him fo' sho' frick those weasels.
From what I understand they are trying to make the primary a highest vote total and not a 50+1 scenario.

He announces 7 whole months after all other Republican candidates announced and stands to give up his State Senate seat. He could be getting something in exchange for this vote fracture while he possibly grifts with his US Senate campaign.

I could be wrong. I do not know...

Just initial reaction to thinking of the implications of what he stands to gain/lose and why join so late compaired to all other candidates of the same party.

What changed?
Why not have announced after Trumps Nov. 5th 2024 victory? What happned in between Nov 5th 2024(or earlier) and June 17th, 2024?

Maybe all this is just jealosy and hype from me?...

Shot down, if no one gets majority it goes to a runoff.

From what Blake told me, he can still keep his state senate seat if he doesn’t win US. Nobody is paying him and certainly not Cassidy. Blake is as legit as they come and he knows we need a real republican in DC.

Yes, he has been thinking about running for a while. His dad passed away earlier this year and maybe that had something to do with it? Also, maybe he wanted to wait until after the session? I don't know, but he would be a hell of a lot better than Cassidy.

This is consistent with everything I have heard about him from others. He seems about as sincere as it gets at the politician level.

I hardly remember names on Moon unless he gives them a nickname as a pejorative. I do not remember him having a nickname, so he must check out. Psycho Bill HAS to go. See, I remember his nickname.
