Even though he would not be able to run again, only three months are left on the term.
Who is the candidate these people WILL support?
IMHO It seems a waste of effort more towards “we know who we don’t like” than “we know who we like.:
You read it wrong.
He can run again in three months. The idea is to weaken him by making him run two campaigns at once.
He has to fight the recall and run a primary race at the same time.
