Lt. Governor Polito will have to come out publicly as to whether she's a Baker republican (aka a "never-Trumper&quot or a supporter of TFG. If she expresses support for TFG, I think she is completely sunk. I think she's well aware of this.

The question becomes who the Democrats would nominate. I THINK Maura Healy has already said she likes being AG (she's been quite good) and has no interest in running for Governor in the next election. She'd be a great choice, but if she's out I don't know where the Democrats would turn. (Please note, I'm not saying that there aren't any other options, I'm saying that *I* can't think of any... and would love to hear suggestions.)
