Republicans already struggled to hold on to open seats during special elections this year in favorable GOP territory. While they still won eight of the nine special congressional elections in districts held by Republicans, the massive shift toward Democrats in places Trump had carried by upwards of 20 points was notable — and early, concrete evidence of a growing Democratic enthusiasm gap.

I've never seen so many of these special elections where the local voters didn't even know there was a special election. I don't think this is a good indicator but NPR wants their wet dream to come true...

No mention of the fact that the Demonrats POURED money into the special elections.

Yea, the GOP voters knew the GOP candidate would win or didn’t really care. The Democrats were all fired up and still lost! And of course they neglect to mention the Special Election the GOP won a few weeks ago in Texas when a GOP State Senator flipped a Blue county that hadn’t gone GOP for over a hundred years!

Republicans struggled to hold on to 9 seats and that’s why Democrats will win. O K. Republicans struggled for 9 seats but actually held 8 of them and that’s why Democrats will win. I’m trying to see the reasoning but can’t.
