Thanks for the link, but the R's would be just as likely to rally around their remaining candidate as the D's would be (especially if it's framed as a way to own the libs, etc.). And while it's true that a supermajority wasn't at stake here as it was in Iowa, any big % shift from red to blue in these pre-2026 elections is significant, IMO.
