Yesterday/tonight was the first big set of primaries: TX, NC, and AR.
Well-known GOP TX Rep. Dan Crenshaw (the guy with the eyepatch) looks like he’s lost quite possibly because he refused to be a 2020 election denier and has called for more civility. He’s not been “MAGA enough” despite being very conservative.
TX Dem Rep. Al Green, who held up a sign at SOTU saying blacks aren’t apes, is in a tight race with a much younger opponent. They were previously reps in different districts, but redistricting had lead to this unusual race, which is helping Green’s opponent. They’re headed to a runoff.
TX GOP Rep. Tony Gonzalez, accused of having an affair with a staffer who committed suicide, gets into a runoff due to a near tie with his opponent, Herrera.
TX Senate races:
Dems: I think moderate newcomer Christian Talarico will be declared the winner over Rep. Crockett.
Some controversy because after a judge extended Dallas voting two hours due to confusion on what precinct to vote in by many due to redistricting and other changes, the YC Supremes put in a stay of that ruling!
GOP veteran Senator Cornyn and crooked gross Paxton are in a runoff.
NC Senate: Dem Gov Roy Cooper got 98% of the vote!
AR races: nothing interesting/close.
Thanks Larry,
Going to be a very interesting year for elections.
The lib Crockett conceded the Dem TX Senate nomination to the more moderate Talarico. I like him so far from what I’ve seen of him. He appears to be a pretty moderate Dem along with a strong Christian background though he doesn’t push his religion. I hope Cornyn beats Paxton to face Talarico in Nov.
Thanks, Larry!
This war just added millions of additional votes for D candidates in November as the bought and paid for (by the military-industrial complex) Rs just cut their own throats by endorsing Netanyahu‘s war, as he uses DT for his self serving interests.
Non MAGA Americans oppose this war and non conservatives extremely oppose it. More on the polls to show this later, when back on the computer.
