Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MODERATORS
The Senate itself is DEI for Republicans.
She's a pretty popular figure on the left and might actually get a lot better turnout than Beto (although certainly less with racist white "moderates" but their turnout for Dems has been lackluster). Texas has been purple, but you wouldn't know it given all the voter suppression and gerrymandering.
Best of luck to her.
Doesn't that mean she's just going to abandon the house seat to be between some newcomer and the republicans? Hope it works.
It likely means that her district has been gerrymandered such that she doesn’t stand a shot at winning anymore.
She doesn't necessarily have a good shot at Senate, either, and the next person in her district probably won't perform better than her.
But I have trust she knows the landscape better than I do. I just like to assess all the possible things that could go wrong so we can deal with them appropriately.
I think a lot of it will come down just how bad polling looks in her district and whether Talarico brings in enough money. Allred is better than any Texas Republican, but he neither excites the base nor reassures the squishier right-leaning suburbanites.
Whoever runs for Senate could possibly win, I guess, especially if its Paxton who emerges bloodied from the primary, but it's more likely that it's a means to show you can overperform and gain a higher profile in the national Democratic party.
I tried to read the article but it won't open on ecosia due to ad block. From the title I assumed her district doesn't exist anymore
Not necessarily. Depending on the gerrymandering technique that got used with her district she either got looped into a district that's heavily Republican leaning meaning she's likely to lose reelection now, or looped into the same district as another current Democratic Rep based on residence which would mean they'd have to fight over the district.
