Amy Walter (@amyewalter) Why is Spanberger not popular; voters elected her bc she said she’d focus on affordability. Thus far, she’s most tied w/ a thing she didn’t campaign on, and one that is definitely not about controlling cost of living: a very partisan 10-1 map.

I've seen enough: Rep. Tony Gonzales (R) and Brandon Herrera (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TX23.

I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

I've seen enough: Steve Toth (R) defeats Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) in the #TX02 GOP primary.

1 month ago 610 99 28 73

I've seen enough: Sen. John Cornyn (R) and Ken Paxton (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TXSEN.

1 month ago 245 60 5 14

Incumbent watch: #NC04 Valerie Foushee (D) looking ok so far, but Reps. Al Green (D) #TX18 and Dan Crenshaw (R) in #TX02 look to be in very serious trouble.

1 month ago 66 11 2 1

And, Talarico (D) takes the raw vote lead w/ a 76%-23% rout of Crockett (D) in Travis. Co. (Austin). This isn't on track to be a blowout, but he's the clear favorite. #TXSEN

1 month ago 163 26 4 2

Crockett (D) wins Harris Co. (Houston) early vote 54%-45% over Talarico (D), but that's not good enough w/ Talarico dominating heavily Hispanic counties. #TXSEN

1 month ago 178 34 4 5

As expected, Talarico (D) dominating Austin area home base, winning Hays Co. 74%-26%. He's the heavy favorite based on everything we've seen so far. #TXSEN

1 month ago 88 11 4 1

And, Talarico (D) wins the Nueces Co. (Corpus Christi) early vote 62%-36% over Crockett (D), the first indication he's winning Hispanic voters. If that's the case elsewhere, he's the heavy favorite to win. #TXSEN

1 month ago 54 9 0 1

On the GOP side, a runoff looks virtually assured, w/ Paxton likely to finish ahead of Cornyn and Hunt in a distant third. #TXSEN

1 month ago 39 5 2 0

Early returns: as expected, Crockett dominating areas w/ significant Black electorates in DFW, but Talarico holding his own among white suburban Dems and we don't know much about the rest of the state yet.

Amy Walter (@amyewalter) CNN poll showing 41% approve - 59% disapprove of US action in Iran basically mirrors Trump’s overall job approval rating (41/57). Opinion of Trump drives opinions on attacks on Iran. https://t.co/THgSlA4hTE

Ryan Nobles (@ryanobles) NEW: Virginia Supreme Court allows redistricting special election to move forward https://t.co/6n6t8Xjhjl

Democrats’ 10D-1R gerrymander of VA’s map clears a major hurdle, though the Virginia Supreme Court could still strike it down post-referendum.

Interesting: just as TX Republicans didn't draw #TX28 or #TX34 as red as they could have, VA Dems didn't draw #VA02 or #VA06 as blue as they could have. But in a year like 2026, Dems may end up winning all four seats in question (if VA map clears hurdles to enactment).

NEW: Virginia Dems’ proposed congressional map would almost surely torpedo four GOP seats, converting delegation from 6D-5R to 10D-1R this fall. Still faces several hurdles to passage.
