Daily reminder everyone knows Hofmeister was a Republican until like last week so radical socialist attacks (the entire GOP playbook, essentially) don't work.
I'm totally stereotyping here in the worst possible way, but I kinda pat myself on the back for seeing Hofmeister for the first time and just having the immediate thought of "I bet she wasn't always a Democrat".
I think it's also because my brain needed to latch onto some explanation for the polls.
Political parties definitely have a look. The best example is Jeanine Áñez, who is the most Republican-looking non-American I've ever seen.
