You'd think she'd primary Hirono instead, given her health issues...try to force her out of the race.
Hirono is much more popular than Ige, and Hanabusa has already been defeated by Hirono once before. They're also both devout Clinton allies, endorsing her early in both 2008 and 2016. David Ige has ran against Obama's most prominent ally in Abercrombie, but he was aldo the very last Democratic Governor to endorse Hillary in 2016.
Yeah, he didn't endorse in the primary. The Clinton machine never forgets an act of disobedience.
