      No. She is the incumbent and still in office. She lost to Abdul in the primary though and has refused to endorse him unless he sucked fascist cock [paraphrased but that’s what she essentially demanded]. He told her to pound sand and she went over to support Abdul’s republican opponent in the general.

        She asked him to condemn and apologize for some attack ads that some pac did. He did condemn it but he wouldn’t apologize for something that he had nothing to do with which is 100% the right call.

        But she’s a Representative, not a Senator. Representatives are up for election every 2 years. So did she decide not to run as a Representative again when she decided to make a Senate run?

          She ran again, but lost in the primary to Abdul. She could have chosen to continue her run as an independent but is instead supporting the Republican in the race.

            She lost the Senate primary to Abdul. But then she decided not to run to keep her seat in the House?

          Yes, she chose to run for Senate instead of running to keep her seat in Congress during the primary.
