Hit his mark. Sigh. Spellcheck. Hurd hit his mark last year and won in a year when every other TX R way underperformed. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Hurd spent past 4 1/2 years busting his tail winning in 2016 & 2018 against the odds, in a Clinton district. In Nov, every Texas R underperformed by 8-10%. Hurd hit his make & won. He is - no, was - the future of GOP. 3/3 https://t.co/52DnZLLYTd — PolitiTweet.org

Hurd wasn’t just any swing-seat R. He’s supposed to be 21st century GOP: a black undercover CIA op who came home to TX. He began my interview 4 years ago knowing what I wanted to ask: “How did the black dude get elected in a Hispanic district?’ ” 2/3 https://t.co/mfC8d2J1qy — PolitiTweet.org

Scroll twitter for @RosLehtinen @carloslcurbelo & so many other mainstream Rs reacting to @HurdOnTheHill retiring. Scooped by @BobMooreNews here. This is almost as big as Ryan retiring announcement last year. 1/3 https://t.co/52DnZLLYTd — PolitiTweet.org

Take 5 mins & watch this @nancycordes gem about nonprofit getting paid congressional internships to lower income students. A great story, a great goal. "I just want Congress to look like America," @AudreyHensonC2C says. https://t.co/VnoEcNhBFb — PolitiTweet.org

That's a wrap, folks, Senate finally adjourns to join the House. A 39-day recess for senators, 46 for House. "No more teachers, no more teachers ..." The scene here on Capitol Hill: https://t.co/nrQwBrHgyf — PolitiTweet.org

The New Hampshire press corps (along with Shaheen's campaign & DSCC) will eagerly await mining Lewandowski's personal financial disclosure forms if he ever actually enters the race. https://t.co/Na6tqakiGT — PolitiTweet.org

So @SenSchumer ducked all Qs at end of presser, so I yelled, “what about the Yankees’ trade deadline performance?” (Pause .... stop.) “Should’ve got a pitcher!” he bellowed. CC: @BresPolitico @Phil_Mattingly — PolitiTweet.org

Non-debate news: Mike Conaway became 8th House R this year to announce retirement plans. If Rs lose the #NC9 special election Sept. 10 -- after members spend 46 days away from Capitol for summer recess -- those GOP retirements could mushroom. https://t.co/R7K3nOXfbl — PolitiTweet.org

@jeneps @steveschale @creynoldsnc Seriously, even I got pre-check years ago. I'm a troglodyte. It's a total game-change. And Schale, maybe TLH isn't super busy & easy to get through, but you travel enough throught spots like DCA, that pre-check is a requirement. — PolitiTweet.org

@StuPolitics To be fully clear: I love Utley, a top 5 Philly athlete of all time. He doesn't belong in Cooperstown. But certainly belongs there ahead of Abreu. — PolitiTweet.org

@NYTnickc Incredible Tommy Tutone pull there, Nick. I don't mean this insulting, but I would've been afraid to make the joke myself for fear I'd be the old guy on Twitter! Love that tune. — PolitiTweet.org

Booker is gonna do CNN in a second. I hope it's half as engaging as the Warren interview last night, because that was both great policy and great TV. — PolitiTweet.org

@jennifereduffy @JoeBiden Not math, verb-tense. He's said plenty of times the "we can survive 4 years" line, he just screwed up and added "more". Other instances were factual errors, I think, but that was a clear grammatical slip-up. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

In 2016 a longtime House R, up against committee chairman term limit, decided to retire. His replacement? Matt Gaetz. That's how these new retirements from Conaway, Roby, etc can change Congress. https://t.co/bb0w4k4cXe — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

House Rs face mounting retirements, but not (yet) from many vulnerable R incumbents. Instead, members like Conaway, Bishop, Roby were in the respected crowd who got things done. Who succeeds them tells us where GOP is headed. https://t.co/bb0w4k4cXe — PolitiTweet.org
