Dems look to keep up momentum in upcoming special elections
Republicans and Democrats will face off a few more times in special elections this year, following a special election schedule that has seen Democrats make gains in Republican districts.
Democrats have substantially improved on their 2016 presidential margins in almost all of the major special elections this cycle, flipping seats in Pennsylvania and Alabama.
Strong Democratic showings in red districts — even when the Democrat in the race didn’t actually win — have added to the evidence that a Democratic midterm wave could be building.
Democrats outperformed again in Arizona’s special election on Tuesday, with the losing Democratic candidate still improving on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 showing in the district by 15 points.
