@NYPoliticsTakes@davidslosttt It doesn't have to be 30%. But someone who cotes the party line >90% of the time can't really be considered moderate in any way that matters. The label does get overused.
@jaketapper 1) The district is twice as red as that.
2) He never said that. The account you're RTing made it up, and if you were an actual journalist you'd know that.
@BostinNational@PollTracker2024@LeftRight234 He's seemed like a very middle of the pack Republican, a bit to the right of Youngkin. Shouldn't have any trouble appealing to MAGA and moderate Rs alike.
Whether he wins over independents who don't like Trump is the question
@PollTracker2024 Marquette's polling confirms it. It's before a primary so it's still a bit murky, but that's still quite concerning for her.
Unfavorable national environment is also a lot easier to overcome in a gov race than a Senate race.
@scott_kernen This is certainly within the realm of possibility and wouldn't surprise me a ton, but Fox's polling is often pretty rosy for Dems. And being a couple points closer would be a world of difference.
