Al Green has lost his primary [View all]

Last edited Wed May 27, 2026, 03:00 PM - Edit history (1)

He lost after being forced to compete due to redistricting. Perhaps his opponent will be good, but it's a shame. I've always liked him. I wish that the Dems had supported him when he walked out on trump during the SOTU and took other strong actions in the early days of trump's second term. You never had to question where he was coming from, unlike some who were playing footsie with Rs back then. Thank you for your service, Rep. Green!
