Not sure if this has been posted but Gabe Vasquez (D), who was challenging Yvette Harrell (R) the incumbent in the newly redrawn 2nd Congressional District has just declared victory in the race!!! She was terrible....one of those Rs that voted to not accept the results of the 2020 election. This is a Democratic pickup for the House!! Maybe Kevin won't be speaker after all!
