VA-05: Denver Riggleman likely has a primary challenger - Bob Good, a Campbell County Supervisor and fundraiser for Liberty University. This comes after Riggleman was censured by the Rappahannock County GOP for "abandoning party values" - which includes, among other things, officiating a same-sex wedding.

It would be funny if this seat is open for 3 cycles in a row.

Republican Janet Baresi has entered the race in OK-05 against Kendra Horn. Baresi is a former dentist and state school superintendent.

The GOP nominee here is basically 99% likely to be a woman. All 4 major candidates are women.

Once a man jumps in, that number will fall to zero

Fact check: false.

It’s really just simple math. If a dude jumps in, the women are going to split the female Republican vote amongst themselves, but go ahead and doubt me

If voters actually voted based on gender like that, sure.

How naïve to think gender isn’t a factor, especially in a Republican primary

Republicans nominated a woman in WV-03 of all places.

She was the ONLY woman running and won the primary with 23% of the vote. Of the 10 Republican women you could have used as your “exceptions to the rule”, you chose the single worst one

Yes, but don't you constantly spout about how misogynistic WV is?

Other "misogynistic" "racist hick" districts such as IN-02, WY-AL, AL-02, TX-12, NY-21, MO-04, NC-05, and WA-05 elected Republican women, it's not just suburbs lol.

That’s cute. You don’t think gender or sexism has anything to do with the fact that less than  10% of the Republican caucus is female

You aren't very good at mathematical probability. If the 4 main GOP candidates are women, there is a 99%+ chance the GOP nominee will be a woman. If 4/5 are women, there is an 70%+ chance the GOP nominee will be a woman.

Who knew that Democrats on this website would be jumping to defend the Republican Party from charges of sexism when <10% of Republican Congress people are women

It's not like 27/40 of the GOP potential nominees in battleground districts are women...
