With 17 primary candidates whittled down to one Democrat and three GOP contenders, the party’s push to scrap the system clashes with its own strategy. Bernadette Wilson, top Republican vote-getter, urges supporters to rank her first only—fearing that splitting votes could let the Democrat win outright without needing ranked-choice mechanics. Former GOP officials warn this setup fuels infighting instead of coalition-building. Meanwhile, Candice English enters the fray with no platform and questionable registration, running alongside Jodi Taylor, wife of another candidate, using a shared email. The GOP’s next move could make or break this election. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
