I don’t think that’s much of a negative. With ticket-splitting becoming a relic, this should be more of an expectation than a sign that they’re not a good candidate. And she only had one cycle to build up any sort of incumbency advantage which is hard to do bc not enough ticket-splitting.
Reps. Craig and Davids have a done great job at insulating themselves but they first got elected in 2018.
I’d like someone who maybe has a better chance to hold that seat going forward. Caraveo barely ran ahead of Harris.
