Republican Karen Handel is the winner of the special congressional election in GA-6. She beat Democrat Jon Ossoff (who doesn’t even live in the district in which he ran), despite having 23.6 million in campaign donations, mostly from California and Martha’s Vinyard Democrats.
The Democrats pinned their hopes on the Georgia race as their chance prove that all the media narratives they’ve been fostering are true: that America is turning against President Donald Trump. That didn’t happen. Not once but twice. They lost another congressional race in South Carolina as well making them ( I believe) 0-6 for congressional seats since the Presidential election.
So?
- Democrats can’t stop losing (because?),
- Hating Trump is not a platform.
The only ‘victory’ they can claim (and the did) is a 56 vote win in Wolfeboro New Hampshire. It made national news. It was the beginning of the end for Trump. A momentum builder, even though they lost the other special election in New Hampshire the same day.
Out of State Democrats dumped a fortune (relatively speaking) on the Wolfeboro race which still produced abysmal turnout and only barely made it out alive.
Momentum builder? Not so much.
All that’s left to do now is to see who they blame for the loss in Georgia. Feel free to list your suggestions below. Russians, Vote suppression, racism, transgender discrimination, global warming.
I can tell you this. It won’t be the fault of Democrats, their tactics, or priorities, that is certain.
