(19,339 posts)One was strong Dem, and it went 95-4. Yes, a 91 point win.
The other is a swing district and the Dem won 60-38. This was a district that Trump won in 2016.

(507 posts)very happy. Getting ready for Big Gretch to make a run in '28...no matter the outcome of this election I think she's the Dem front runner 4 years from now. She's formidable.

Somehow, there has to be a gray cloud in that silver lining.

(19,339 posts)But darned if they werent huge Dem wins.
Its special election after special election of Dems outperforming the polls and previous elections. If the roles were reversed it would be media doom and gloom for Biden and Dems 24/7. Theres a Blue Wave coming, and no one is talking about it.
And when the wave comes, the medias lack of coverage of it will give Trump more fuel to claim it was all stolen.
