Remember when Karen Bass fought like hell to get the legislature to kill SB 79 and then heavily lobbied Newsom to veto it but it passed anyway? And then she went on to lose her election to a yimby?

The reddest House seat Dems are poised to flip is TN-4, where Victoria Broderick, a progressive who backs Medicare for All and is openly pro-trans rights, leads. Trump won it by 24. She ran on a shoestring budget with no party support. Here are other Democrats who flipped deep-red seats.
