is so big that the primary is the general election as we ve seen in other states, you have the governor who s a pragmatist, but he s an establishment guy going up against the liberty folks led by the lieutenant governor janice mcgeachin, they don t like each other. it s getting personal, and it will continue to get personal. this happened in may, the first time the governor left the state, she signed an executive order eliminating mask mandates in the state. when he returned, he scolded her publicly and rescinded the order, and he just arrived back tonight so he rescinded the order already. mcgeachin, thank you for correcting me, i apologize. in terms of what this says about the state of play of party politics on the right side of the aisle, what s your take? well, again, you have the governor who has the business community and the governor s a pragmatist, governor incislee h criticized him, there was never
