Did this former New York Times columnist just botch his bid for governor?
CNN
It was big news when it happened: longtime New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof resigned from the paper to run for Oregon governor as a Democrat in 2022.
Except that Kristof's run may not make it out of its infancy -- if the Oregon Secretary of State's office has anything to do with it.
On Thursday, Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan, a Democrat, said that "Mr. Kristof does not currently meet the Constitutional requirements to run or serve as Oregon Governor."
