GOP Sen. John Kennedy (La.) said Wednesday that the Republican party “got their asses kicked,” in the Pennsylvania special election the night before.

Democrat Connor Lamb declared victory over Republican Rick Saccone in the special House race for Pennsylvania's 18th District. The district has been GOP-held for years, and President Trump won it in 2016 by more than 20 points.

Most Republican leaders are publicly downplaying the results, pointing out that Lamb didn't have to face a primary and saying he ran as a pro-gun conservative.
