They'll go to their primary care doctor.

a Mexican woman governor in Texas, a black woman governor in Georgia, a 65-year-old native woman governor in Alaska, a black man governor in Nevada and the Senate and the House.

She went on to say that the wretched Roger Marshall from Kansas and OBGYN who voted against SNAP and doesn't like WIC is out and off the AG committee where all the big decisions are made.
