Yep. I wish Chavez has stayed in, but even a half-decent candidate might not have been able to prevent this.
Chavez with a half decent fundraising operation might've been a solid "sacrificial lamb"
I agree. Chavez would've been competitive for the second spot (against Harris) and seems like he would have consolidated the Republican vote, but obviously would have still lost to Harris. He decided to run for reelection for his seat in the state assembly, I believe. I'm concerned that a D vs D Senate race, combined with Presidential race turnout and Trump on top of the ballot will sink a lot of Republican House of Representatives candidates in California, but oh well. The NRCC should just write off California, except for maybe district 7.
