It's been a week since I started my “The case for” series, and I've writen about all the major candidates and three minor ones since.

Early on election night it even seemed like Beto had a puncher's chance at unseating Ted Cruz, which would have been an upset by a lot of standards. However, Cruz retained his seat by about 3%, and he should be happy that he was up this year and not 2022 or something similar, as Texas is getting bluer.
