She may end up continuing as Michigan's governor after the 2026 election, but that was pretty much self-immolation of any aspirations.
OTOH, there are 25 scandals every week in this administration, and nothing sticks for more than a week. Will any remember or care in 2028?

I’ve only read Wanderers and Wayward. (In many ways a reboot of The Stand.) I liked them quite a bit, especially Wanderers.

His other stuff seems a little too weird to me. I heard parts of Black Apple Orchard when my wife listened to it, and it just didn’t appeal to me.
