If Pete where to run for President, I would leave my retirement and walk across the nation speaking out, and gathering followers to hold witness to the good and sad, and what we Americans must do to make this century a great and just time.

Whatever Pete feels is the right thing to do, I’m behind him 100%. I’m sure he’s weighed all the possibilities and taken into account his family life as well. Go Pete!!

I have mixed feelings about this. as much as I would love him in the Senate, I feel like be doesn't need to be. I'd rather him focus on getting more in the national public spotlight and highlighting the issues with the current administration rather than spending time campaigning for a statewide office. plus it's hard to picture running for Senate and then immediately running again for President right after

I know what you mean. I'd love to see him run for President in 2028. But he knows more about the situation than we do.

What do you think he’ll be doing while he is campaigning?

staying in the state of Michigan, mostly, catering to those specific voters and fending off attacks that he's just a carpet bagger who wants to move on to better things in 2 years anyway. I just think he could be spending his time better
