Pundits, analysts, and passionate voters are concerned that an Amash candidacy would do nothing but cause disruption since Amash has virtually no chance of victory.
Republicans are concerned that Amash could take votes away from Republicans and Independents who don't necessarily like Trump but won't vote for Biden.
And, Democrats are concerned that Amash could take votes from Democrats, weary Republicans, and Independents who aren't confident in Biden but won't vote for Trump.
As far as I'm concerned, it's Amash's decision and right to throw his hat in the ring if he chooses. If he does, it's on Trump and Biden to try to win over voters who would seriously consider Amash the best option.
I'll be surprised if Amash actually ends up running this year; it's very late in the game. But his decision should be known fairly soon.
