That's gonna make her primary in 2020 a bit harder.

I doubt she wants to run again, and I doubt Republicans would want a chronic underperformer like her running again.

That's gonna make her primary in 2020 a bit harder.

If she were in any other state, I’d say this is proof she’s leaving politics, but in Utah this could be the first stroke in her next run, as a “#nevertrump conservative who’ll bring family values and tax relief back to Washington”.

I’m really not sure she’s done. If Steve Pearce, Ann Kirkpatrick, etc can brush off losses, and return to the game, why not Love? After being hyped as a ‘rising star’ and ‘the future of the party’ for years, it would be pretty hard on the ego to just disappear into obscurity without a fight.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Yeah, Utah is the one rock-ribbed Republican state where I don't think distancing yourself from Trump is necessarily fatal in a primary.

Already been over for weeks, but this race didn't end up being close. Hill just wrecked Knight. She also won by more than Nunes.

Hill might win by double digits, lol.

If Hill's margin grows a bit more, the Siena poll showing Knight up by 4 could end up being as far off as their TX-23 poll.

COX TAKES THE LEAD

Cox and Valadao look like they could be related.

TJ Cox 2020

[lfromnj]

Does anyone what was TJ's campaign?
I mean obviously he is a bit of driftwood but he had to do something.

What's Portuguese for Portillo?

Antonio volunteered for Cox's campaign and told me that it was kind of shoestring but had a strong labor emphasis.

I'm not a scientist but the CA GOP has gone extinct.

Is that all of what's left in Kern? I mean, given that there's still more of Fresno, we can probably stick a fork in Valadao at this point, but if there's more left in Kern, then we could see Cox at least get closer to a 1,000 vote margin.

IT HAS HAPPENED

7 Democratic pickups. California truly is the freedomest of Freedom States.

There is *supposed* to be more Kern, but we will have to wait to see if it shows up in future days I guess.

The concern is that there is known to be some more King as well, but there is supposed to be more Kern and Fresno, and given how good that small bit of Kern is it should be fine.
