Al Green loses his primary
No great loss – except to Al Green.
This is an example of the effect of redistricting. Green would have almost certainly been a shoe-in if he was running in his old district. But he can’t do that, because his old district doesn’t exist. So he switched to another district, and was defeated in the runoff:
The race for Texas’ solidly Democratic 18th Congressional District was an incumbent-on-incumbent Democratic clash, with Green and Menefee both trying to preserve their places in Congress after redistricting altered the congressional districts around Houston.
Green has been among President Donald Trump’s fiercest critics in Congress, pursuing impeachment charges on multiple occasions against him during both of Trump’s terms. Green has been kicked out of Trump’s State of the Union addresses multiple times as well for standing up and protesting amid the speech.
The new district is not competitive for the GOP, so Menefee will almost certainly win in the general.

So is Menefee any better than Green. I mean, other than waving a cane, raising Cain
My fear is that the Reps that lost to Trump supporters will do everything they can to cause trouble.
Nelson laugh: HA HA.
Menefee could scarcely be worse than Green, or at least more ridiculous.
The dems are gonna need a new Preston Brooks.
As an ex-congresscritter, Green can still attend the SOTU, although he will be seated in the gallery. He could still make a spectacle from the gallery, at least for a short while. That’s all he did on the floor — made a spectacle until he was escorted out.
