Go Sonneborn

Sonneborn will win a landslide against Scott and will be governor of Vermont for over 60 years

Is Hallquist considered a strong candidate? I know that Scott's popularity has suffered a lot recently so I don't see why this race wouldn't be competitive in November, at least a lot more competitive than it seemed six months ago when Scott had great approvals.

Beggars can’t be choose, Hallquist is the only legitimate candidate from the Democratic field. She’d be well positioned to easily win this race if Scott loses his primary. He’s honestly more vulnerable tonight than in November, most of his approval rating drop was caused by a shift among Republicans peeved at him signing gun control legislation.

Phil can actually lose this, lol. That's one way to throw away a seat.

[I’m not Stu]

Is GOP primary challenger Keith Stern a hard-right Tea Party Republican?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Omg Schuylkill Scott!!

[Pollster]

Is the GOP about to completely blow an easy race?

[Former Kentuckian]

Was Scott's primary predicted to be close? I haven't paid attention to this race at all.

No. Keith Stern is just some guy. Come on Stern! Democrats can take the governorship if Stern is the GOP nominee.

Vermont GOP is nominating the same guy for VT-AL, AG, SOS, Auditor, and Treasurer.

Vermont has a quietly surreal energy that no other state can match.

Well Sonnenborn is polling 8% ATM so...

[MAINEiac4434]

Sonneborn has 8%.

Never change, Vermont.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

Vermont's legislature doesn't have age limits, so I could see Sonneborn running there soon. Too bad it looks like he won't even break 10%. Being honest I think he's doing better than he ever thought.

TBF it's pretty badass for a kid to get 8% for his party's gubernatorial nomination.

Most of us here probably couldn't get that lol.

Politico projects Gov. Phil Scott has won the GOP primary

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Sorta surprised Stern isn't doing better in the Northeast Kingdom.

How is Ehlers not a legitimate candidate?

Same on Stern. It's the most gun-friendly portion of the state.
