I mean, not spending money on a district that's not going to exist anymore in two years does kind of make sense. Has nothing to do with these silly Atlas memes.
How? The article stated that the district could disappear entirely after redistricting. So what's the point in recruiting a candidate?
If the Democrats get full control, it is possible Democrats could try to regain it by adding parts of the Twin Cities metro to the district.
No, because there won't be a MN-08 seat after redirecting anyway.
