With about half the vote counted. This deep red district went by 37 percentage points for the orange menace. So any margin substantially less than that is a good thing for Dems, even if Harris does not win.

(9,993 posts)+37% GOP in 2024, down to +12% (plus or minus) in 2026 = A GOP loss of 25% and therefore a GAIN of 25% for Dems in this deep red District. The nationwide trend should be apparent by now. Apply the results of this race and 30+ other special elections since 2025, and it's lights out MAGA-GOP. 'Nuff said!
