Final Trump Impeacher Loses Reelection Bid

Randy Villegas, a progressive Democrat, beat Rep. David Valadao in California's 22nd District, per race calls from the Washington Examiner and CBS News. Villegas led 66% to 34% at 1:17 p.m. Wednesday with only 57% counted, which in my classroom we called a draft, not a grade. Valadao was one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over January 6, and CBS says he was the last of them to lose reelection or announce retirement. Dan Newhouse is the only other one left, and he's retiring too. Bernie Sanders endorsed Villegas, which tells you the left still hands out seats like participation trophies. Strip the spin off and what's left is a count still in progress and a victory lap already underway.
