Problem is, every House rep and 1/3 of the Senate (not sure how many are Rs) have to run again in 2026. Congratulating her could very well mean earning yourself a meaningful primary opponent.

IтАЩll be interested in what happens to Bill Cassidy two years from now. He was one of the few Republicans who voted to convict Trump in the Senate. HeтАЩd just been re-elected, and IтАЩm sure he never dreamed that Trump would still be a force after Jan 6. We have a тАЬjungle primaryтАЭ here in Louisiana, so IтАЩm trying to decide if IтАЩd vote for him even though I disagree with his policies. Sort of the dilemma facing Republicans who donтАЩt like Trump in this election. I guess it will come down to whoтАЩs running against him. Or he may decide that it isnтАЩt worth it and go back to being a doctor, or become a lobbyist for Big Pharma.

Too damn bad, isn't it?

You can thank gerrymandering, at least in part. And the reluctance of moderates to vote in primaries.
