And the clock's starting to tick.

I mean, primaries are coming up real quick.

Yeah.

And look, I mean, Iowa is a little bit of a stretch for Democrats at this point.

It's in the likely Republican category right now, according to the Cook Political Report.

Maine, North Carolina being two of the main ones in the toss up category.

Then Alaska and Ohio, where Democrats got pretty good recruits that are leaning toward Republicans at this point, but could be ones that Democrats hope to play in.

Well, right now, at least this point in the calendar, I'm really interested in Texas.

And not just because I'm married to a Texan and I hear a lot about what's going on in Texas, but Texas is also interesting because there's four House seats that are competitive, likely toss-ups or leans.

Three of those are Democratic-held seats, so Democrats are going to have to hold on to some of those and be able to then try to go on offense.

some of those places, not to mention redistricting in Texas and seeing how those districts shake out, how new people come in or don't.

But he's found a different issue this time around that has really taken the entire state by storm, focusing not on affordability, but on Sharia law.

In fact, here's some of the ad that he's been running quite widely.

Feels like a 2003 kind of throwback post 9-11.

And he's not the only candidate in the state who's running these ads that are, quote, anti-Sharia law.

And a lot of it.
