Rep. Dan Crenshaw critiqued some of the GOP candidates tapped to run for office in 2022. GOP voters nominated Karoline Leavitt, 25, and Bo Hines, 27, in two key House districts. However, in a recent Politico interview, GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas said that his party erred in nominating younger candidates in two of the most competitive House districts in the country. That's batshit crazy," the 38-year-old congressman told the publication of two young Republicans who won primaries to serve as their party's nominees. In New Hampshire's 1st Congressional district, Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas defeated 25-year-old former Trump White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt 54%-46%.

Walmart, Target, CVS, Bloomi, and Cake did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. "This industry, in general, intimacy and sexual wellness, has been becoming more normalized over the years over the last decade, for sure."

Lee Zeldin , Ms. Hochul’s Republican challenger, who hails from Long Island’s Suffolk County, more than 450 miles away.
