He's certainly competent at blocking trans rights in his own state

There's no indication that he would flip, he's quite clearly siding from the anti-woke brain wyrm. And he's a Democrat, so his Verizon of fighting for teams rights is going to be doing nothing and claiming to be a great defender, like how the Dems were about Roe

The wiser approach is to maximally oppose him and any other candidate who will not protect the people that the right is trying to eliminate. That way seems better than hoping for two miracles
