#GA07 was drawn by the GOP to be a safe red seat, but the suburban sprint away from Trump made it close (at prez level) in 2016, then almost a D flip in 2018. Bourdeaux was the candidate who nearly won it.

As @JamaalBowmanNY moves up in #NY16, Nabilah Islam, who embraced an image as "the AOC of Atlanta," got wiped out in the #GA07 primary.

Have you seen polling that Bowman is moving up? Obviously he’s gotten some big names but do we have data that it’s going to translate to votes?

Do you think they just don't have enough appeal in those districts or voters are only worried about when it moves from a primary to the general election?

Honestly that might be for the best. There's no point in wasting our safest seats on milquetoast machine guys.

The leftist candidate didn’t do well in the primary against moderate Dem David Scott either a more mainstream liberal got the runoff spot

And that’s a very safe seat
