Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

As the primaries are shaping up, we’re getting a clearer picture of what the race for the U.S. House of Representatives is going to look like. Keep in mind that only about 50 of these races are even remotely competitive, with the rest of them occurring in either solid red or blue territory.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, as much as you don’t like her, isn’t losing her seat no matter how charismatic her Democratic opponent is, because the voters needed to replace her in that district of Georgia simply don’t exist. The reverse is true of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who is never in danger of losing her seat to a Republican in deep blue New York City.

Out of the 50 seats that are in the running, one seat in Oregon (OR-5), just got a whole lot less competitive, switching from a pure tossup seat to Lean Democrat, largely due in part to that district nominating Janelle Bynum to run for the seat.

Bynum, a state legislator, has something else going for her: She’s already faced (and defeated) incumbent Rep. Chavez-DeRemer not once, but twice. Let’s get behind Janelle Bynum and get ready to do it again on Nov 5, as we need this seat to have any shot of flipping the House blue.
