Gene Wu just told Jen Psaki that the TX reps are "passing the baton" to California

No pressure, CA! I have not heard until now that the TX reps will not leave if Abbott calls another special session. Logical or not, it's disappointing. Now it's even more important to rally around Newsom!

Bet is that red states will dummymander their districts so the red candidate won’t be a guarantee.

Newsom's plan is no guarantee and their "passing the baton" is passing the buck.

I applaud Governor Newsom for leveraging the power of the largest (blue) state and hope he is successful.

And he is the one of the few that seems to be ruthless enough to surrender ideology for victory, which is goddamn need already.
