I assume the media will no longer be saying that this is a referendum on Trump & the midterms...
Well, they will cite how close it was as a “referendum.
Remember fake news media rules:
R wins by a few votes, “it’s close, Republicans must be worried, DemoKKKrats are thrilled”
R wins by 3-5 “Can’t take much from this, doesn’t mean anything”
R wins by 10-20, no reporting at all.
