if cassidy is surprised , he just does not understand trump.

is not their top candidate.

jon bel ewards could win it,
gen honore might win it,

letlow tok her seat when her husband died of covid . she is big on "parents rights" and such.

her district is solidly religious fundy red - i hope a dem runs for the seat, but maybe the safest repub district anywhere.
