Democratic Overperformance in Georgia Spells Disaster For House Republicans

Last night, Republicans got their biggest wake up call yet as Democrat Shawn Harris pulled off a staggering 25 point overperformance in a district Trump previously won by 37%.

This marks not only the largest overperformance in a congressional special election this cycle but the largest in at least a decade.

Last night’s elections in Georgia represent the latest in a long line of electoral failures for Republicansincluding in Anna Paulina Luna and Laurel Lee’s backyards. As voters continue to abandon Republicans over their failed, cost-raising agenda and broken promises, Democrats are ready to build on this momentum and take back the House in November. 

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“House Republicans’ delusional hopes of holding on to their razor-thin majority officially disappeared last night.”
