Who was even paying attention to this seat? This was a seat MTG won by 29 points in 2026, and it was a special election to finish out her term.

I'm not sure of the specifics on this race but one thing the "mid-term blood bath for Republicans" crowd is missing is how absolutely dog s*it the favorability is for Dems.

If the economy starts to heat up later this year and gas prices return to where they were I don't think it's going to be the shellacking the left predicts.

All of this to say there are WAY too many RINO's in congress and without passing any meaningful bills they're giving the Dems way too easy of a chance. This should be a layup...pass the damn SAVE act!

it's not the Save Act, it's the Save America Act, a big difference!

Halving the margin of victory from the last race doesn't seem like a good omen to me, especially in a district where Democrats either don't field a candidate or when they do routinely get trounced 3 to 1.

Except like every special election, the Democrats pour a **** ton of money into the GOTV operations along with ads. Even if they don't win, they can buy the exact talking point you just posted. They usually outspend the Republicans 5-1 or even 10-1.

most people are too ignorant to realize that with gerrymandering over the past 30 years there will likely be far fewer "tsunamis" and massive turnover

I am old enough to remember when the economy sucked under Joe Biden with 9% inflation and the GOP still only gained a handful of Congressional seats.

that was 3 years ago.

Still it's a good thing. If he would've lost it would really signal disaster.

Who contested the election in question? Was there a challenge to the election results?

That's more or less my point. This seat was never really in jeopardy.

My father always said : "Talk is cheap, takes money to buy whiskey"

It is a mid-western farmer saying.
