SANDY SPRINGS, Georgia — Republican Karen Handel has won the special congressional election in Georgia, fending off a strong challenge from Democrat Jon Ossoff in the heavily Republican House district, according to a projection by NBC News.

Handel’s victory in the closely fought contest, which drew national interest and was the most expensive House race ever at over $40 million, comes as good news for President Donald Trump. Democrats had promoted the contest as a referendum on the president.

Rarely, if ever, has a single congressional race attracted this much attention or been freighted with so much meaning.

Hey, terrorist DemonShits:

Sending your wannabe mass murdering terrorist out to assassinate Republican lawmakers really did you a lot of good. OUR PRESIDENT Trump only carried this district by about 1.5% in 2006. Now his surrogate carried it by 4%. We Just won the referendum.

SCREW YOU!!!

switched on Fox just now to see the end of Hannity but, of course, it’s Handel’s win in Georgia.

pollster comes on and says the polls weren’t wrong.

almost everyone else mentioning how unpopular President Trump is at present.

didn’t the crowd just go wild when Handel mentioned the President?

don’t believe polls that claim the President is unpopular.

“They are losing to non-incumbents with 98% of media behind them and record spending.”

Most expensive House race EVER.

Half of me thinks the dems need to do a mass firing of all their internal pollsters, and consultants.

The other half thinks that to the dems 25 mil is irrelevant chump change, it’s power they crave.

"Even with all the insane amounts of Dimmocrap money pouring into the Ossoff campaign from out of state, the people of Georgia were not fooled."

That money could have been used to get thousands of snowflakes the mental help they so desperately need.

Yup.

The more I watch him and the shiite he handles, the more amazed I am.

Trump is the biggest baddest motherfucker ever to take the White House.
