Charlie Baker is the current Republican governor of Massachusetts. He is very popular there and also very moderate. Especially on social issues where he’s actually more left leaning on a lot of them
Also if he was ever somehow nominated in primaries to run for president the. There would be some more conservative states run a different more conservative person which would cause vote splitting and he could loose some states like Wyoming or Alabama and such to that person.
Yeah the north east used to be until the GOP moved to far right on social issues. A republican that actually leaned left on social issues I think would be interesting. Cause they could maybe recapture some of them. But then they may loose some conservative states. It would be interesting to see what happened.
It’s possible in the game, but REALLY difficult since you would need to put a lot of effort in to getting those states. But if we’re talking about AI, I would think no however the AI can be weird so maybe.
