Devin Nunes wins 10th term in Congress, defeating California Democrat Arballo
Source: The Fresno Bee
Rep. Devin Nunes has won reelection, defeating a challenge from Democrat Phil Arballo in what was a closer-than-usual contest for the nine-term Republican incumbent.
Democrats last year announced plans to try to flip the district, but they did not put party resources into the campaign and political experts consistently rated Nunes seat as unlikely to change hands.
Currently, Nunes, R-Tulare, is up seven percentage points over Arballo, but tens of thousands of mail-in ballots are still being counted.
Nunes has held the areas congressional seat for nearly two decades, consistently winning by 30 percentage points or more until 2018. That year, his national reputation as an ally of President Donald Trump and increased visibility as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee fueled a well-funded challenge by Democrat Janz. Nunes won the race by five percentage points.

(5,088 posts)We already know it pisses him off. Let's try to get him even more unhinged thane already is and then the state can recall him and impeach to remove on medical grounds. Just a thought...

You now what else Devin hates? Having people think he's Hispanic (Nunes is a Portuguese surname - but sounds similar to the Spanish Núñez).

(24 posts)The Fresno Bee is just waiting to bury Nunes. I used to do business in that part of the Country, and while Nunes has major rural support, the CA/99 corridor has cities with a lot of LA & Bay Area transplants that moved there for a cheaper cost of living. They are mostly young, educated, liberals needing some political assistance. And, there is an Hispanic community that needs some convincing.
