What Went Down In The 2018 Midterms

We’re starting to get some returns in from California, but be wary. It takes several days to collect mail ballots there, and the final returns don’t always match what’s reported initially on election night.

I’m looking at Georgia’s 7th District, where Republican incumbent Rob Woodall is currently trailing Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux. Democratic outside groups put about $1 million into boosting Bourdeaux, while GOP groups spent nothing to help Woodall.

The “Iron Stache” has lost. Republican Bryan Steil will hold Speaker Paul Ryan’s Wisconsin 1st District for Republicans, 54 percent to 43 percent, over Randy Bryce, who became a viral progressive sensation back in 2017.
