And guess what? The map is proving me right. Democrats need to flip several seats to reclaim the Senate majority, and they were counting on Texas as one of their marquee pickups. The problem is that nobody actually believes Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) is the guy to pull it off. He's the best they've got, and even Democrats seem unconvinced.]]>Tue, 15 Sep 2026 19:41:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[New Hampshire]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Senate]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/09/15/the-2026-senate-map-is-turning-into-a-democrat-nightmare-n4957278<![CDATA[Five years ago, 13 American service members were killed at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan.
