Republican Karen Handel has won Georgia’s special House election, holding a longtime GOP district in the Atlanta suburbs after a record-setting $50 million campaign.
Handel had 52 percent of the vote to Democrat Jon Ossoff’s 48 percent when the Associated Press called the race with 80 percent of precincts reporting. Handel’s win preserves Republicans’ 24-seat majority in the House.

Azoy….the Repubicans won this district by over 22 percentage points just a few months ago when Tom Price (now HHS Secretary) ran and before him by Newt Gingrich. Now, with the Trumpkopf in office, they barely win by 4 percentage points against a lousy Dem candidate who didn’t even live in the District. If that’s a “WIN” than kein yirbu.
When will these nasty Russians stop hacking US elections?
Another “referendum” went in president Trumps favor!
The Democrats should stop believing their own propaganda.
And the fact that the “Resistance” led to bloodshed hardly helps Democratic candidates.
4 – 0 Republicans
Nekumeh in the farshtinkene DemocRATS and CNN
Referendum??? Sort of like the Fox News nightly “polls” on key issues among its right wing audience….”do you support Trump’s plans to provide tax increases to his real estate buddies” as part of making America Great Again…results show 88% yes….and that tells us????

Gadolhadorah, I feel your pain, especially after Democrat guy outspent his opponent 7 to 1 and still lost.
