A terrible night for Trump in Pennsylvania

in #trump7 years ago

A special congressional election in Pennsylvania has given President Donald Trump a bloody nose and offers some key lessons for both parties.

The final results aren't in yet - Democrat Conor Lamb clings to a lead of around 500 votes out of more than 200,000, with a few thousand absentee ballots left to count.

But the massive swing against the Republicans - Trump won here with ease in 2016 - means we can learn plenty.

Both parties are closely watching the results to glean any insight into the mood of the electorate with the November mid-terms looming._100418135_trump_pa976getty.jpg
