Bregman has some sense. In reality MLG is not known as an intelligent person. She spent one term in the Congress. Two whole years and bowed out. That tells me even her own party leadership showed her the door.
Governor of New Mexico is basically like being mayor of a large city... but less. She was put into office by waves of Indians and NM minorities and women.
Actually, she spent 3 terms (2013-2019) in Congress before her ascension to Governor (which I’m not so sure she actually won, and definitely did not in ‘22).
