I don’t really care if he has pressers or not. He is still the Governor. I haven’t any ideas to his intent now.
The point is that it is totally routine. That is about as local an issue as you can get and only locals were the audience - yet it is supposedly a conspiracy that the press conference and those like it are for a shadow national presidential campaign, even though he and other governors routinely do these things and he has been doing them himself ever since he became governor, just like any other governor. It’s totally absurd.
