28. I would worry more about the Problem Makers and No Labels

Texas can go blue this election if we can GOTV. The GOP has given Democrats this election on a silver platter. The dog caught the car overturning Roe V Wade. They've demonized the entire LGBTQ+ community. Rs have realized their only way to pass legislation the rest of this session is with Democratic cooperation. Playing pattycake with Kevin McCarthy and his mad-dog House may well dampen turnout for Democratic candidates in the next election. The administration needs to stay on point trumpeting it's achievements for progressives.

Manchin and Sinema will likely be history...we have work to do to ensure the Senate remains in Democratic hands.
