I hope that this article is correct https://politicalwire.com/2018/08/05/democrats-surge-ahead-of-special-election/
But in the final days ahead of Tuesdays election, signs were everywhere that Democrats are surging from recent polling to the private and public statements of many Republicans, including the GOP candidate himself. The district has been reliably red for more than three decades, but the sheer size of the Republican cavalry made clear how worried the party is about losing it.

Im praying that maybe we can flip a few in the Senate, now that the House is starting to look hopeful. But its a LONG time til November.
