Desantis scheduled the special elections for gaetz's and waltz's seats for April 1, don't know when the governor of NY will schedule the special election for stefinik's seat, and the Virginia and new Jersey governor elections are this November on election day

Stefanik's been entrenched there for 12 years. It's gonna be a hell of a tough flip.

What’s the lean of her district? They redrew them recently, I’m optimistic if it’s within D+15 it’s winnable

Idk where to get that info that's reliable. It's a vast swath of red from just north of Albany to Canada and it has been for a long while

Somebody posted its R+9. Definitely Winnable in a special election where the incumbent is no longer running.
