Um, no. The party demographics have changed. White working class/labor districts aren’t hyper-Dem as they used to be in the post-FDR era. This seat has declined in Dem performance and could’ve easily been slightly altered by the IN GOP legislature to outright elect a Republican. It is trending Republican without a redraw and will elect a Republican within a decade, and could fall this year. Similar to MN-8, also a former hyper-Dem labor district.
Keep telling yourself that.
Have you not seen the direction of White working class districts since the 1980s ? Districts that went heavily for Mondale and the like now moving to Trump and the GOP or firmly in our camp already. You’re in Missouri, look what happened to Gephardt’s old House seat. Otherwise, what’s with the negativity and denial of the political reality of where these districts are going ? Even the Hispanic working class seats in Texas, Democrat for a century or longer in some cases, are rapidly moving Republican. Not dreams, reality.
They have to ask because they don’t know what a woman is.
