they (whoever they is in this case) wouldn't have picked someone who admits they were a Republican until 2022 and perhaps had more political experience than being a graduate of the Humphrey school. I have to assume she switched parties because she suddenly realized the Republicans were on the wrong side of an issue that directly affects her. Typical of a conservative.

I'm not saying Amy shouldn't be reminded she needs the votes of the left wing to win but a serious candidate should have been the one to do it.
