1. In any event, a massive shift away from recent GOP margins of victory

Tuesday

+37% GOP in 2024, down to +12% (plus or minus) in 2026 = A GOP loss of 25% and therefore a GAIN of 25% for Dems in this deep red District. The nationwide trend should be apparent by now. Apply the results of this race and 30+ other special elections since 2025, and it's lights out MAGA-GOP. 'Nuff said!
