Still nothing. Ugh.
Wild that this is the same place trump won by 20. Hehehe
I saw the video of Saccone telling people that the left has hatred for God. Whatta POS. Is there a Republican that doesn't lie his ass off? Jesus.
Lamb won by 500+ votes last night, a slim margin, but quite a victory for the Dems. However, the race hasn't been officially called.
There are reportedly less than 200 provisional votes yet to be counted this week, so Saccone doesn't have a chance of winning unless a recount is undertaken and it reveals that hundreds of votes were miscounted. That seems highly unlikely, but I guess it could happen.
President Trump campaigned twice for Saccone, which included holding one of his campaign style rallies. Pence, Ivanka, Conway and Don Junior also stumped hard for Saccone.
Lamb was a much stronger candidate for the Dems and for the region though, in my opinion. Biden campaigned for him. Lamb's pro-union, pro medicare/medicaide and pro-social security stances.......seemed to hit home with a lot of voters in the district, regardless of party-affiliation.
The GOP's attempts to position Lamb as someone who would always go against Trump's agenda and be a puppet to their bogey-woman Nancy Pelosi failed. Those were just false claims by the GOP. Lamb was already on record supporting some of Trump's policies and opposing Pelosi as a future Speaker of the House -- he simply reminded voters of those facts and stuck to promoting his own agenda.
