Wow this could actually happen. King’s primary opponent is awful also, and if he wins its kind of a shame because King is more flippable, but it will be GREAT to see the back of Steve King.

most of the swing seats already flipped

The incumbent in GA-07 is Republican Rob Woodall, who won by only 400 votes and is not running again.

And Carolyn Bourdeaux, who almost beat 4-term incumbent Woodall, just announced she’s running again for the now-open seat.

Yup - Peachtree Corners, Cumming, Snellville etc. The Republicans have held it since they won the House in 94.

Bigfoot porn guy Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) will not be running again for his 5th District Congressional seat. He’s been ousted by county supervisor Bob Good via a drive-through nominating convention after committing the Republican crime of officiating a gay wedding. Good is a former Campbell County supervisor who now works for Liberty University.

Leslie Cockburn came within 7 in 2018 and she wasn’t a very good candidate. Here are the possible Democrats - the primary is June 23.

Graves is only 49 and was elected in the 2010 tea party wave, so hasn’t been there long and isn’t that old. He also doesn’t appear to be running for the open Senate seat.
