Conclusion
This is unbelievable, and when I first heard the News I thought of this article that has been floating around recently. I found out after the fact that it’s from 2025, but it still makes you wonder if this was planned all along.

It’s no wonder Tina Kotek has one of the lowest ratings for Governors Nationwide. With such ridiculous pandering headlines like this, it’s no surprise many have lost total faith in mainstream media.
