After a 2018 House loss primarily at the hands of suburban women, Republicans are intensely worried that the trend is continuing in areas of red states that used to be safe holds.
According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump is deeply underwater with suburban women, who chafe against things like his racist attacks and lack of leadership after mass shootings.
The suburban shift played out in 2018 when Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA), a mom-turned-gun control activist after her son was murdered, won a seat previously held by Newt Gingrich.
And the trend seems to be migrating towards Texas, a huge alarm bell for Republicans. Already, three GOP representatives have announced their retirements, coming from seats in the Lone Star State that Democrats fought for and came close to in 2018, and have a fighting chance at this time around.
I like good news on a Friday morning. Gets the work-weekend off to a good start.
From before the 2018 midterms:
Maybe if you cowards would care more about the folks you represent then this thing called Trump you might have fewer worries.
Worried about the suburbs but not worried enough to change any of the hateful narrative, pass gun laws or anything else that would be helpful to ordinary people. Yep, just stew about the suburbs and try your best to figure where you went wrong.
Oh my, what happened in 2008? Clearly white men in the throes of economic anxiety blaming Bush for the recession.
