Breaking all over twitter. I don’t have a non-platform post I can share but she did issue a statement.

Thanks Randy!

Congrats to Derek Tran!

3. She's down by 613 votes with 99% counted.

That's within the margin to call for a recount (50.1% to 49.9%), so it's a bit surprising....

4. It's a lot to overcome.

9. Maybe she decided that with a smaller majority than ever,

it is going to be quite the shitshow for the next 2 years in the House. Assuming the lady is halfway sane, I wouldn't blame her for taking a pass on this one. If history holds, the midterms will be a big swing away from the party in control, so she's looking at 2 years of shitshow followed by a decisive defeat.

Recount? Nah. I think I'll just go straight to the $300K think tank job.
