I wonder, is there anyone who actually can fully follow all of the crazy stuff that's happened over the last week-plus? With Trump around almost every day is an exhausting month-long marathon...
But in right now's news, it looks like Conor Lamb, the Democrat, won the US House special election in Pennsylvania! This seat went for Trump in a landslide and the now-resigned former Republican representative didn't even have a Democratic opponent in the last two elections ('14 and '16), 6), so I've been skeptical all along about if Lamb would win... but it looks like he managed it, if by the narrowest of margins. Right now that margin is barely over 500 votes, and that is probably going to narrow a bit before it's finalized. Ideally this race would be a blowout win for the Democrat, to repudiate Trump and his efforts to destroy America and replace it with a Trumpian dicatatorship, but a win is a win and it's really really great to finally win one of these competitive special elections! The blue wave seems to be real...
