Most Democratic Governors on the Veep Short List Flunked COVID

It’s considered likely that Kamala would pick a Governor as her running mate.

But there’s only one Democrat who handled COVID well – and that was Jared Polis of Colorado.

As we look back at our landmark CTUP/FreedomWorks Report Card on how governors performed during COVID, we find that virtually every Democratic governor now under consideration for the president or vice president slot got a D or an F grade. They were ALL lockdown artists. Here are the grades:

      • Jared Polis, Colorado: A
      • Andy Beshear, Kentucky: C
      • Roy Cooper, North Carolina: D
      • Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan: D
      • Gavin Newsom, California: D
      • J. B. Pritzker, Illinois, F.

Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania wasn’t governor yet during the pandemic, but Pennsylvania got an F under his Democratic predecessor.
