Good Journalism here, folks.Now officially official, Feinstein not running for re-election
Josh Stein is IN for the NC governor's race.
TexasAny particular reason or just Texas?
If Beto couldn't get momentum for Dems after Uvalde, then I do not like the chances of any Dem for statewide office in Texas.Yeah. Hopefully they have good polling and a good ground operation to decide how to spend on this race. Money is going to come in for this race because Cruz sucks. But they need to spend where they have a chance to hold on to 50 senators.
isn't it a lot of right wingers moving to a safe space?For all the wealthy Californians moving to Texas, they don’t seem to be upsetting the political balance.
I don’t think that this population migration fits into a partisan left/right dichotomy. As a nation we allow unchecked inequality to create the conditions that drive huge swaths of people to move, and rather than try to mitigate that on a national level, we instead encourage states to compete with each other in a race to the bottom. There’s nothing inherently right wing about moving to find lower taxes and a lower cost of living, what’s right-wing is a nation leaving the fate of its impoverished and unhoused to the individual whims of local tax payers.isn't it a lot of right wingers moving to a safe space?
I don't think Beto is the end all be all candidate. I think people outside of Texas really like him and he's probably a good organizer. But someone else could be a better candidate.If Beto couldn't get momentum for Dems after Uvalde, then I do not like the chances of any Dem for statewide office in Texas.

Yeah. My theory is that state-to-state migration keeps states like Florida and Texas from turning purple or blue and has turned Georgia and Virginia purple. We know that Florida would be less red if not for huge retiree communities. Then they added an influx of COVID movers. Part of my theory is that Republicans moving from California (over 6M Trump voters in 2020) obviously doesn't impact the presidential race, but it could turn purple House districts blue over time.isn't it a lot of right wingers moving to a safe space?
