They are. Unions endorsed Lamb. That will be the difference.

Democrat attempts to win a seat in a district that went for Trump 20+ points.

FYI, this district won't exist in its current form in 7 months. Turnout is expected to be low.

Both of those candidates will be gearing up for another election very soon.

Lamb currently with the lead. Is tarzana ready to call this a referendum yet?

Not a bad source. They got the Alabama special senate election correct.

Right now the Democrat leading in the raw count, but the Republican is the projected winner.

I voted for Saccone but I am having trouble understanding the significance of this race after seeing how the redistricting will impact my area.

Lamb is basically a moderate republican with a DNC membership card. Saccone is a moderate republican. Both have military backgrounds. Both back Trump's steel tariff and the second amendment.

I love how toddy is trying to mock republicans for the amount of money spent on the election when he ghosted after that special election where the Dems dropped 5 times as much and lost in Georgia.

What a hack.

He's a cocksucker for sure

Will his lying be successful?

He had to fake like he was a republican to win. He'll be voting with pelosi. I bet his "personal opposition" to abortion will just rend his poor heart.
