Rat Races

All rats abandon ship:

“House Democrats are scurrying away from competitive districts like rats fleeing a sinking ship,” NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen told Breitbart News. “Democrats’ abandonment of these seats leaves Hakeem Jeffries with a skeleton crew and hands Republicans an open path to flip crucial swing districts without facing entrenched incumbents.” But New Hampshire isn’t the only state where Democrats could suffer a blue bloodletting. Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH), only in his second term, is considering abandoning his swing seat for a quixotic statewide bid in ruby-red Ohio. And Rep. Emilia Sykes (D-OH), fresh off a two-point reelection in a swing district, is also reported to have met with a national abortion group recruiting her to gamble on the long-shot Ohio Senate seat as well. (She considered running for the Senate in 2022). Other House Democrats are blowing on the dice in anticipation of a roll at higher office as well.

Blue bets are off...
