A Democrat just flipped a House seat in a district Donald Trump won by 20 points on Tuesday night. So what? Well, there are only
119 House seats where Trump’s margin was narrower than that. Democrats
now need to win just 23 to take back the House. If Republicans weren’t

The Too-Close-To-Call Pennsylvania Race Leaves Republicans With A Lot To Worry About
This squeaker Pennsylvania race, once the results are officially called, will likely prompt Republicans to reexamine both the candidates they nominate and how they campaign ahead of November’s midterms.
Democrat's thin lead in Pennsylvania congressional election points to larger problems for Republicans

Pennsylvania vote down to wire in ominous sign for Republicans
Saccone’s poor performance is worrying for Republicans who were sure that tax cuts, the party’s only major legislative achievement under Trump, will be a vote winner this year.
However, the sweeping tax overhaul did little to energize local voters, some of whom dismissed it as a giveaway to the wealthy.The best part, though: Paul Ryan & Co. are only too happy to ignore all the warning signs and insist Conor Lamb’s victory is meaningless. Who are we to disabuse them of that notion?
