In reply to the discussion: Al Franken for New York Senate? [View all]Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)31. Gillibrand has a 74% approval among NY Democrats...
Even if the article you linked to didn't specifically say he wasn't running, his running likely would be a struggle as back in March, Gillibrand had a very high approval rating among NY Democrats.
Hard to believe it's dropped much over the last few months.

the OP misleadingly altered the title, which actually says: Franken rules out run against Gillibrand

No, you altered the title to give a false impression, and now you are spinning again. EOS

I directly snapshotted the article w/ relevant parts directly from his camp that refute your claims

why did you alter (in a very misleading way) the title? Franken rules out run against Gillibrand

Additionally, what issue would he run on that would differentiate him from Gillibrand?
