    She’s a pretty popular figure on the left and might actually get a lot better turnout than Beto (although certainly less with racist white “moderates” but their turnout for Dems has been lackluster). Texas has been purple, but you wouldn’t know it given all the voter suppression and gerrymandering.

    Doesn’t that mean she’s just going to abandon the house seat to be between some newcomer and the republicans? Hope it works.

      Not necessarily. Depending on the gerrymandering technique that got used with her district she either got looped into a district that’s heavily Republican leaning meaning she’s likely to lose reelection now, or looped into the same district as another current Democratic Rep based on residence which would mean they’d have to fight over the district.
