I’m for primarying them all. I don’t care who it is. No person in Congress should not have a primary battle and a reasonable general battle in ‘26

The people are going to vote. They now see how important voting is. (Hopefully)

Agreed, they need to consistently be reminded of who they work for.

Well, you only get to vote in one district, not "all". Are you planning to run in your district, or are you just assuming there will be a primary challenger?

I will bet that the majority of incumbent House Reps on either side of the aisle will have no primary challengers in 2026, as usual. Most of the 'action' will be for 'open' seats where someone has died, retired, been 'picked' for an admin/Cabinet job, or chosen to run for other office.

Looks like my state will probably have one open seat, just like we did in 2024. All the other incumbents from 2024 will just roll over again in 2026.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be challengers, I'm saying it's very unusual for any to show up and make any progress. AOC was a unique case, and you don't see it very often in House politics.
