While some on the right seem to think all Democrats are 'liberals', that's simply a view based on ignorance. There are a lot of moderate and conservative Dems in purple and red states (like Doug Jones, who beat that idiot Roy Moore in very red Alabama).
Lamb, the Democratic challenger, supports Trump's tariffs and several other policies the President has proposed. He's run a grass-roots campaign with way less financial support than Saccone. However, he was polling slightly ahead before the votes were cast tonight.
Lamb’s strength in the race underscores the political challenges facing the GOP: the party controlling the White House typically loses seats in the midterms, and Trump’s historically low unpopularity makes it even more challenging for Republicans to hold their seats.
Another thing that's working against the Republicans, in my opinion, is the playing of the 'unpatriotic God-hating lefties' card. It's so ridiculous and stale. But, Saccone pulled that card today.
“I’ve talked to so many of these [people] on the left, and they have a hatred for our president,” said Saccone. “I’ll tell you, many of them have a hatred for our country. ... My wife and I saw it again today. They have a hatred for God.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...story.html
No, dude......some voters just might favor your competitor over you and Trump. God has nothing to do with it.
We should know who won the election late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
