(8,881 posts)3. Governor Polis is term limited. His term expires in 2026.
I believe he will run and win in that senate race.

1) Are the Independent voters in AZ,GA,MI,MN,NV,NH,PA,VA,and WI likely to elect a LGBT person to the US Presidency. The US Presidency position in 2028 is another position Polis may be interested in.
2) Polis could also take the safe route and run for the US Senate.
