She ran against 4 black candidates who split over 53% of the vote. She played the odds that they wouldn’t be able to consolidate behind one candidate and won as a result.

I agree that's it. Did not know it was 4 candidates.

That might annoy the black voters. Who is the Republican candidate?

^^^^^^ A political noob named Brent Anderson, who is an insurance broker.
48% black, 27% Hispanic, 18% white. Solid Dem area. His only hope is that the black population stays home in droves, and the Hispanics are of Cuban decent, and hate the Dems.

She is horrible, and I mean horrible. A buddy of mines kid was good friends with her kid years ago. She wouldn't write him a recommendation letter for West Point. But beyond that she's as crooked as a chain link fence after a hurricane, yet somehow people keep voting for her.

In Texas, there would be a run-off after the primary between 1st and 2nd since nobody got 50% of the vote.
I don't think Danky would do well in run-off in that minority district against a minority.
