Will Moser make the runoff in TX-7?
Maybe the biggest drama in today's Texas primaries is whether Democratic House candidate Laura Moser – whom the DCCC attacked with opposition research – makes the runoff or not in the race to challenge vulnerable GOP Rep. John Culberson. (If no one exceeds 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates advance to the May 22 runoff.)
According to national Democrats, Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, who's been endorsed by EMILY'S List, is expected to finish first in the crowded primary.
And Moser and Alex Triantaphyllis appear to be in a margin-of-error race for second place, say these same national Democrats.
That's pretty much what a recent poll by the GOP-leaning Congressional Leadership Fund found – Fletcher at 28 percent, Moser at 17 percent, Jason Westin at 14 percent and Triantaphyllis at 13 percent.
And Republicans are continuing to seize on the Democratic drama. See this video from the National Republican Congressional Committee:
