There is an important post for this blog that I want to do that isn’t ready yet and I needed to do something quick. Thus, I’m talking about the Indiana governor race from earlier this year. This was at one point going to be one of the races that I was eager about as I wanted there to be a change in who held the office at one point, but then changed my mind.
Basically, the race came between incumbent Republican governor Eric Holcomb, Democrat Woody Myers, and Libertarian Donald Rainwater. It would seem that a lot of people did not like Eric due to some of the restrictions that were put in place. But it doesn’t explain alone why Donald did as well as he did, getting at least 11% of the vote. Eric still won around 56% of the vote with Donald seeming to steal the votes from the Democrat. I didn’t support Woody since he was not that strong a candidate. Plus, I liked Eric’s efforts to combat the coronavirus largely due to him joining an alliance of largely Democratic governors.
Ultimately, Eric is now term limited and will not be able to run again in 2024. If he ever turns on me, then I will start counting done to when he will be leaving office since it is guaranteed that this will happen at a specific date. He will leave office when his term expires in 2025. I will not know what he could do after that in terms of a political future. Will he run for other office? I do not know. But I actually like the fact that he won and look forward to him continuing his time in office in the future.
