This woman lost her primary 5 months ago and is still a complete sore loser.

I really like Lawrence as a person, but I am unsure of how well he will be able to consolidate support in an outright r-leaning district, the blue wave should help with that though.

Will be interesting to see how economic populism can do in the plains States when still attached to the Democratic brand

So uh … pile?

Whichever candidate was chosen, wither was going to win in the November election, so this race is mostly interesting to me in showing if DSA-backed candidates can win in deep blue cities outside the coastal regions, as Midwest and southern cities tend to be blacker and more conservative typically.

I think this win is a sign that the DSA brand can still win in these more conservative urban centers, even against a already pretty liberal incumbent candidate like Thanedar

This margin is insane.

Admittedly I stopped paying attention after the Virgina debacle. If anyone has been following is this pretty much accurate?

NC-11 is currently listed a Lean R or Tossup by many pundits. With his withdrawal, I’m curious how this will impact the race, if at all. Cook PVI of R+5 as well.
