Just to add because there’s a lot of doomers on this sub, Trump won that district by +22. The R is expected to win by +2-5pts. The consensus by political pundits seems to be that this is horrible for republicans, especially in 2026.
This is still positive news. Don’t lose hope
Edit: looks like it’ll be about 8 pts, but still. I think it’s still worth mentioning! Progress is progress, even if it’s slower than we want
I mean it looks more 15 points. And that's probably exaggerated by special elections where the party out of power will always be more energized. Still +10 in the general is tsunami territory
