if I had to make a prediction Schumer will NOT be the next Senate Majority Leader but Hakeem Jeffries will unfortunately be the next Speaker of the House
The difference is that Texas Dems have been working tirelessly to build their party infrastructure, while the CA GOP is run by a bunch of retards who keep nominating far-right candidates.
If Democrats can win TX Republicans can win CA. One difference is that the press in TX, largely left of center, held Republicans collectively responsible for their governance. In CA the press, largely left of center, does not hold Democrats collectively responsible.
