I put money down on Begich to lose via PredictIt (don’t always have to bet on a winner, sometimes can bet on a loser).
Have to see how this affects my odds.
Most likely Begich still loses. It was a 3 man race. Now a 2 man race.
Did he not want to be seen as a votes suck from Begich and has seen internals, that Begich still loses? Maybe this is to save a future political attempt?
I saw this coming from a mile away...I think your bet will still pay off. We’ll see.
As I recall, Begich was a hardcore leftist during his time in Congress. I seriously doubt that anything has changed.
Alaska now has a chance to do a “Palin” on the Dems and the “independent” Governor who sounds like he’s facing a scandal or blackmail of some kind.
