Congressional Primary Results Megathread: AR, GA, KY & TX (Runoff) - May 22

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

It's almost as if Atlas doesn't realize that objectively horrid candidates like Joe Walsh won in 2010 solely because he had an (R) next to his name. It's almost as if Atlas doesn't realize that a bunch of literal socialists won HoD races in Virginia last year solely because they had (D)s next to their name.

Atlas at least understands this better than a lot of commentators in the media.

No one ever talks about the Bluegrass state!

5th-Sykes is going to beat Stepp, 60-40, at least.  Rogers will beat Serrano, obviously, but not obvious is that it won't be embarassing. I'd bet Rogers civilly forfeits about 20% to the underdog.

Jim Gray will get about 35% and the win in the sixth.

KY-02 is a complete toss-up on the democratic side, the only candidate I saw making any campaign at all took a 2-3 week break from campaigning after his mother died in late March or so.

Richard Ojeda is having a fundraiser in Louisville, FYI.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Excited for these GA primares. Let's go Carolyn Bordeaux, Bobby Kaple, Chalis Montgomery, Rusty Oliver, and Trent Nesmith!!!!

[Badger]

Huh, there were more GOP than Dem votes cast in Luzerne County last evening.

Maybe because unlike the Republican primary there wasn't anything worth voting for that was contested Beyond Lieutenant governor's race?

Toss in GA-06.  The Democratic primary is wide open, and the race could be competitive in November.

Which TX dem primary is the one with the chick who says she hates Texas?

[BundouYMB]

Which TX dem primary is the one with the chick who says she hates Texas?

Laura Moser is the woman you're thinking of. She's running in TX-07 and is a big underdog against lawyer Lizzie Pannill Fletcher who the Democratic establishment is backing.

[Politician]

Which TX dem primary is the one with the chick who says she hates Texas?

TX-07, with Laura Moser running. She won't win the primary, though, so don't get your hopes up.

Voted at 2 pm today. Kentuckians are notoriously difficult to get to vote, but the poll workers said the turnout was "excellent" (but excellent for Kentucky is different than excellent for other states. A turnout topping 30 percent would be excellent. Our general election turnout can be as low as 12 percent). Even though I went during an off-hour, there were about a dozen voters around, which is rare.

What county/congressional district are you in?

He’s in the sixth, which had a pretty competitive democratic primary for congress.

McGrath or Gray?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Which TX dem primary is the one with the chick who says she hates Texas?

Can't wait to see Moser get pummeled! Pete Sessions is overrated, he is favored, but it is bs to rate it as strong Likely R and say that he fits my district like a glove.

[KingSweden]

Just think in 45 minutes the firehose of hot takes will begin

[Strudelcutie4427]

Let’s go Moze!!! 😜

[Sestak]

Just think in 45 20 minutes the firehose of hot takes will begin

[Hollywood756]

20 minutes? I’ve been here for MONTHS.
