Two districts that voted for Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election selected Democrats for state legislature seats in New York and New Hampshire on Tuesday night.
In a Long Island, New York district that Trump won by 23 percent, Democrat Christine Pellegrino defeated Republican Thomas Gargiulo in the race for a seat in the New York State Assembly. Pellegrino served as a delegate for Bernie Sanders at the Democratic National Convention last year, the local Patch reported.
The seat Pellegrino won on Tuesday had been held by Republican Joseph Saladino, who resigned earlier this year after being appointed to a local office. He had defeated his Democratic opponent in 2016 by 37 points. Prior to 2016, however, that same district voted twice for President Barack Obama, per Ballotpedia.
Democrats are also celebrating an upset in a New Hampshire district that Trump won by 7 points in November. Democrat Edith DesMarais defeated Republican Matthew Plache in a special election for a seat in the state’s GOP-controlled House of Representatives, WMUR reported. That seat had been held by Republican Harold Parker, who resigned to join the administration of Republican Gov. Chris Sununu.

Only 80+ seats to go in order to get the House Majority.

"Upset" is probably too strong of a word here.

When you've had what amounts to 4 straight losing seasons...you DO tend to get overly excited about meaningless preseason wins.

Toddy may be on to something. A Democrat recently won a second term in the election for mayor in Chattanooga, in a district that Trump won. I foresee things snowballing from here...

Couldn't get mayor of Omaha, Nebraska but got two state assembly seats! The tide is finally turning, Trump is finished.
