It looks like

not to anybody's particular surprise, but after Republicans took that victory lap about 10 years ago, very smugly over Obama, it looks like that is the experience that will probably be part of the Trump era for Republicans.

Yeah, they're gonna flip a bunch of chambers, I would suspect, in November as well.

Seems like it.

Yeah.

So meanwhile, the DCCC has ticked off an enormous number of Democrats.

You can put up E5 here.

This was really not the moment for Washington Democrats to creep into congressional elections around the country and put their thumb on the scale and endorse a particular Democratic candidate while there are serious contests still underway.

So they added, I think, eight new people, yeah, eight new Democrats to what they call their red to blue list, which means they're getting...

The Democratic Party is basically their endorsement, getting access to their donors, to their vendors, to their consultants, which, you know, who knows what all of that is worth to them in the end, but also gives them both the sheen of being party endorsed.

but also the stench of being party endorsed.

And so it'll be interesting to see how some of these play out.

California's 22nd district, Jasmete Baines, is one of the more controversial red to blue candidates.

Jasmete is running against Randy Villegas.

Jasmete had been asked if Israel was committing a genocide, said yes, then said, oh, I think I heard that wrong after starting to get support from pro-Israel super PACs.

And so, yes, Israel's committing a genocide.

No, it's not.

Pro-Israel money flows in and then Democratic Party money flows in.

This is a Latino heavy district.

So for them to go and endorse against Randy Vegas, who has the support of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, BOLDPAC, which is the Hispanic caucus, is an aggressive use of power.
