As someone who is a True Democrat, I don’t hate him. I have only lived in NH since July, but I did vote for him for Governor in the Midterms.

His general ideas seem to be “the less the government can do the better.” Even if it means leaving money from the federal government on the table. (See NH’s highest residential Electric Rates in the continental 48) In addition, when ask about abortion, he said he thinks the law he signed was too restrictive, but his hands were tied. Otherwise, he hasn’t proposed anything new that I haven’t liked.

Environmentally he seems pretty central. As someone who works in the engineering field, I feel like he understands the issues and how they effect the state. He also did the AT which i feel like you have to have some environmental bones in you to do.

Socially I also don’t hate him, outside of reproductive care, He hasn’t done anything I have disagreed with, mainly cause I don’t think he has done anything at all. That’s probably fine for a mostly white NH, but I don’t know how that will translate nationally.

I also don’t think he is very electable nationally tbh. People who don’t like Trump really like DeSantis, and I am not sure the amount of republicans who don’t like either is enough for him to win the ticket. If he were to win the ticket though, I think he easy beats biden.
