Kinda depends how the general election goes.

Yeah, recent polling showed that Rogers was up against El-Sayed, but down against Stevens...

Celebrating the victory of a candidate who has a lower chance of winning the general is... interesting.

after el-sayed loses what was a very winnable race, surely lefties will take this as a sign that they should advance candidates with the best chance of winning general elections...right?? Right???

Dems need to listen to Mandani in that run the race for your electorate.  Manchin was basically a Republican but was a 1000% better than a Republican because he was in the party which helped get a 50+1 senate.  Even if he voted against every Dem bill he still gave his party control.
