Gavin may have stepped in it. The Dems have all gerrymandered the hell out of their biggest states. The Rs have not.

Oh, that would be hilarious!

I can hear all the screaming from here and it's no Banshee that's screaming, they look like Banshees but they're just Liberal White Women.

And I don't mean "would".

I'm glad my dad didn't live to see all this leftist crap. Back in the late 30s-70s, he was a full fledged union leader Dem.

He wouldn't be one today.

He was a patriot who literally ran on foot to the closest recruiting office in Memphis to join the Navy on Dec. 8, 1941.

Jasmine Crockett being a fellow Democrat would turn his stomach.

My parents voted democrat in every election until Reagan ran. This democrat party has no resemblance to their democrat party.

Gavin may backfire bigly on the Dems.

If he wins the nomination, it absolutely will.

Yep, either him or AOC will be a Republicans dream if either are are candidate. I have no idea why the Dems don't understand that.

TDS is a helluva drug.

I don't understand how Gavin Newsome is going to motivate the key Dem core of black voters

Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it.

But Bartlett, it's hard not to stink if all you are is a polished turd with finely quaffed hair!

Quote:BREAKING: In a devastating development for Democrats' political future, the US Electoral College is about to swing +14 VOTES in favor of Republican states after the 2030 Census.

That means a swing of 14 seats in the US House of Representatives toward Republicans as well.

And that means the Republican presidential nominee's pathway to 270 Electoral College votes DRASTICALLY expands, per NYT.

In a scenario like this, the Republican could win the Sun Belt states, none of the Rust Belt swing states, and win the presidency - NOT the case in 2024. Other combinations open up as well.

Doom.

Then I clearly meant signed into law. lol My fault.

I just looked it up. The state Senate will pass it today, then it will go to Abbott to be signed.

Ah, okay. So I was right the first time. lol

Either way, my district in the midterms will be the Ninth, which again will be moving from South and Southwest Houston to East Harris County and all of Liberty County, and I doubt Al Green will be running to represent me. He still might though. If that's the case, I suspect we have enough votes on the right to elect whoever runs against him. But what I think will happen is he just runs for the district he will end up residing in, whichever that ends up being. We'll see what happens when the primaries roll around.

Well, I called it! Al Green will not seek reelection as the rep for the Ninth District since it's been changed. If he does decide to run again, he'll most likely run for the 18th District, the seat that was once occupied by the CongressWOMAAAN (thank you, Michael Berry lol) Sheila Jackson Lee as well as her protege, former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. Both of whom passed away while in office.

I don't have a link yet, but as soon as I find one, I'll post it.

And apparently, we're going to have a special election for the 18th District in November under the current map! HAHAHA!
