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.

I’ll 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. He’d just been re-elected, and I’m sure he never dreamed that Trump would still be a force after Jan 6. We have a “jungle primary” here in Louisiana, so I’m trying to decide if I’d vote for him even though I disagree with his policies. Sort of the dilemma facing Republicans who don’t like Trump in this election. I guess it will come down to who’s running against him. Or he may decide that it isn’t 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.
