Bonnen repairing hurt feelings, but the political damage is real
The Texas Tribune

Iowans give Beto O’Rourke a pass as he skips their state fair after El Paso massacre

They’re afraid’: Suburban voters in red states threaten GOP’s grip on power
The Washington Post

Texas is widely seen as a flashing-red siren inside the party. Republican Rep. Kenny Marchant said Monday that he will not seek reelection to represent his Dallas-area district, leaving open a third Texas House seat heavily sought by Democrats in 2020. Marchant’s announcement comes days after Rep. Will Hurd (R-Tex.) announced he would not seek reelection in his district along the Mexican border and less than a month after Rep. Pete Olson (R-Tex.) declined to seek reelection in the Houston suburbs.
