Last night late, it was reported that Democrat Catelin Drey won an Iowa state senate Special Election, breaking the MAGOP supermajority.
Great news, of course – but me being me, as you might imagine, did some research and dug a bit deeper. And the story is even better.
First, it wasn’t just winning the seat, but it FLIPPED the Red-held seat. And second, it did so with an increase of 22 POINTS! Democrats had lost the district in 2022 by 11 points -- but won tonight by 11 points.
And best of all, this continues the pattern of Special Elections (since Trump was elected), where Democrats have increased their votes in each by 10-20 points in each. Flipping several Red districts.
Digging deeper R Us.
