Two problems with that comparison.
First, a 2008 congressional primary is not remotely comparable to a 2026 statewide Senate race. Different scale, different electorate, different media environment, different money requirements.
Second, he didn’t “run away with it.”
He got 35.1% in the primary receiving a mere 428 more votes than his primary opponent, he did not “run away with it”. He won the runoff 55–44. That’s competitive against a Democrat in CD-4 in 2008, he again did not “run away with it”.
Pointing to a close district race from 18 years ago isn’t evidence of statewide strength today. Current momentum is the key indicator.

False comparison.
Trump was an outsider with massive media oxygen and a national movement.
Fleming is a long-time officeholder with neither.
That’s not the same scenario.

I’m going to burst your bubble and give you the spoiler that Fleming will not be your next U.S. Senator.
