*strike that, 47 races. The largest buy goes to the Biden +12% #NJ05, making its debut on the chart as targeted seat #65.
There's the spending boom I was waiting for...the NRCC drops $19.27 million on 31 House races, pulling ahead of its 2020 pace and adding the Biden +20% #PA12 to the board as targeted seat #64, backing Mike Doyle for retiring 14-term Dem Mike Doyle's seat.

2020 turnout was 11.3, 2018 was 8.4 #TXGOV

"Every indication we have, we're gonna win Tarrant County," Abbott strategist Dave Carney says. He adds they "feel very good" about Tarrant, but "it's competitive, not trying to slough if off, it's going to be a battle." #TXGOV

.@RepCuellar just spoke with reporters at his campaign HQ in Laredo. He reminded that he won his first race by a narrower margin. "I know what it is to do a recount in an election contest. We have very good attorneys, and if we need to, we will defend our election victory." #TX28
(1/2) Does a close race give you any pause about your politics/legislating?
Cuellar: I've always said "you just can't go w/ the wind. ... In my opinion, the Dem. Party has gone a little bit to the left in many ways. I want to stay true to my principles ... to my community."

(2/2) Cuellar acknowledged there are some areas that "don't know me that well," appearing to reference parts of San Antonio, where Cisneros dominated.
"I need to go spend time in the areas that need to get to know me better," he said. "But I'm gonna stay true to the principles."

New: All precincts are now reporting in #TX28, and Cuellar is leading by 177 votes.

Primary night: Former President Donald Trump was dealt a blow in Georgia's gubernatorial primary as incumbent Gov Brian Kemp won decisively, trouncing former Sen. David Perdue, who had the money and backing of Trump and built his campaign on the false claim that 2020 was rigged.
Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state who was attacked by Trump, is holding onto a slight lead against U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, barely crossing the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff.
In #GA14, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defeated her Republican challenger Jennifer Strahan by a comfortable 70-30 margin.
Henry Cuellar is hanging on to a 200 vote lead in TX-28. If he loses, that seat is likely a goner for Democrats.
Henry Cuellar pulled a Trump and did better than expected in Election Day vote in TX-28.
The largest vote outstanding is in a county Trump won, becoming the first Republican to do so in a century.
That bodes well for Cuellar. But he'll have to face Garcia, who is formidable.

And there it is. Cuellar takes a near 800-vote lead over Cisneros. Zapata came through for him.
So... here is my countdown of the top 10 primaries I'm watching tonight in Texas.
(There's a lot more happening, so take this as my own idiosyncratic sense of what I'm finding important!)

1️⃣0️⃣ ATTORNEY GENERAL primaries: Ken Paxton is indicted, but he's managed to channel his far-right politics into a Trump endorsement and a strong position. Meanwhile, Dems decide who'll face him.

9️⃣ The Dem primary for TRAVIS COUNTY (Austin) CLERK: Voters today are effectively choosing who'll be running the 2024 presidential election in the state's bluest county, and the person will have to navigate a lot of GOP shenanigans. boltsmag.org/voting-rights-…

Everyone knows the top statewide primary is the GOP primary for AG. Has @EvaGuzmanForAG been rising at the end?

Paxton is the most at risk of a runoff, but other GOP statewide officials, like Abbott and Miller, face meaningful opposition that they'd like to knock out in Round 1. Plus, the Phelan machine faces its first primaries: texastribune.org/2022/03/01/tex… #txlege

Texas Republicans' proposed congressional map is up and analyzed on the @FiveThirtyEight redistricting tracker: projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…
@FiveThirtyEight The map shores up #TX07, #TX28, #TX32, and #TX34 for Dems and adds a new solid-blue #TX37 in Austin. In exchange, #TX02, #TX03, #TX06, #TX10, #TX21, #TX22, #TX23, #TX24, and #TX31 are made safer for their Republican incumbents.
Dem Rep. Vicente Gonzalez's #TX15 also becomes a bit redder, but still a tossup, under this map. I wonder if he moves over to the safe blue #TX34, whence Rep. Filemon Vela is retiring. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-…

Of the nation's current 435 House districts, 226 voted for Trump in '16 and 209 voted for Clinton.
Based on my initial analysis, Biden carried 216, Trump carried 208 and 11 remain too close to call. But it's pretty clear to me Biden is on track for a narrow majority.
