and took back the state House (the state Senate wasn't on the ballot). Congress was a wash. Two districts flipped Dem to Rep and two went the other way.

Amy did her best to appeal to the more conservative parts of the state. She seems to take for granted that liberals to moderates in the metro area will resign themselves to voting for her because she's still better than a Republican

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
