And who will run for Governor of North on the GOP side, if Hoeven does run for the ? Also, who will run for the U.S. House seat on the GOP side?
Something isn’t working right on my computer. The missing words on my post above are: “Dakota” and “U.S. Senate”. I hope this works.
Hoeven doesn’t have to give up the Governorship to run, he was just reelected last November. The GOP Lt Gov, Jack Dalrymple, would presumably seek a term in his own right (and is currently the most experienced Lt Gov in the nation). I don’t know who will run for the House, but I wish one of the other GOP statewide officeholders would give it a shot. Pomeroy is the weakest of the Dem federal officeholders.
North Dakota elects Governors during Presidential years. Also, Hoeven is term-limited. So it’s a win-win situation if he runs.
