and they just lost the city of Pearland. The residents voted in a democratic mayor for the first time in over 40 years. MAGA leaders were throwing temper tantrums on local social media because their supporters forgot to vote, so I suspect they will be ready for midterms.

If I had to pick, Paxton is the one I'd want to run against, he's very corrupt. Still, we will need to get out the vote. It's no wonder Obama is down here campaigning and we need him. But if anyone can win, it's Talarico. He's an outstanding candidate for us.
