I’ve never heard that from mainstream sources, but I’ve really wondered why. Cotton is absolutely fantastic, and I’ve long thought that he would be President someday. So yes, please!
In all honesty, I really hope this happens! Cotton is just fantastic. Also, it would “passing the baton” to the next generation. His “weakness” is that he is neither Black nor female. But still, he is very clearly the strongest option out there, if you ask me (followed closely by Ron DeSantis).
