Rep. Christian Menefee (D-Texas) is projected to defeat Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) in a Democratic primary runoff for the Houston-based 18th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Menefee, the 37-old-lawmaker who won a special election to fill the remainder of the late Rep. Sylvester Turner’s (D-Texas) seat in January, is almost certain to win the general election this fall in a district that Cook Political Report rates as solidly Democratic.
Neither Menefee nor Green, the 78-year-old who’s served in the House for over two decades, pushed past the 50 percent support needed in the March 3 primary to avoid a runoff.
The two lawmakers were pitted against each other after Texas Republicans advanced a GOP-friendly map that created multiple new pickup opportunities for the party ahead of the midterms. The controversial plan kicked off a national back-and-forth over mid-decade redistricting, including a Democrat-friendly plan to effectively counter the Texas changes in California.
The redraw made Green’s 9th Congressional District a GOP-friendly seat, and he decided to run for reelection in the more comfortably blue 18th Congressional District.
Green, a vocal critic of President Trump, was censured last year after disrupting the president’s address to Congress. He was escorted out of Trump’s State of the Union this year, too.

Yeah, troglodyte got fired. He really looks the part.

Way back, before Al Green was elected.

Senile old coot.
There are two lengthy threads in General/Chat.
