One observation of mine is Kelly apparently for a short time was a paid endorser of some Chinese multi-level vitamin marketing company. Shady but something he can get around if he apologizes quickly for it and it only turns out to have been a one-time thing.
I think the question of whether Walz can do better in Western PA is an interesting one that is getting little discussion. I will say most people I know from Northern Illinois on the left are far more enthused about Walz than they are JB Pritzker. I think the issue with JB isn't even so much him(JB in my experience actually has a lot of support in Illinois on the left) but his family's very long tentacles into all sorts of business. Do people know the Pritzker family once attempted a hostile takeover of the RJR Nabisco tobacco company or once owned an iteration of Braniff Airlines? Some of this has come up in Illinois politics but this will rise to a whole different level of scrutiny. Unlike Trump and his family which is largely fake wealth or wealth inherited from Fred Trump the Pritzker family truly is the real deal in terms of rich and powerful.
