AZ just did a huge vote dump with Kelly leading. GA is see-sawing. ---

Abbott called the winner for TX Gov (no real surprise, right?) Spanberger (D) reelected to the House in VA 7th District. Kornaki is saying this is a β€œbellweather” race that was assumed would flip from D to R. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > Abbott called the winner for TX Gov (no real surprise, right?) One likely outcome of tonight is that what seemed like two of the brightest rising stars of the Democratic Party four years ago – Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams – have pretty much had their political careers snuffed out after losing multiple races. ---

Yeah. I thought Beto would have a better chance after uvalde. Ah well, perhaps he will go back to the house. Abrams should consider a house seat as well. ---
