https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/09/politics/carolyn-bourdeaux-wins-georgia-house-seat-democrat-flip/index.htmlIn Democrats' first major House pickup, Carolyn Bourdeaux has flipped the open seat in Georgia's 7th District, CNN projected Monday.
Her victory in the northeast Atlanta suburbs comes as the Peach State is quickly becoming the focus of the political universe. The same demographic shifts that made this district competitive are helping put Joe Biden in the lead in the state and are setting up a fight for the Senate majority that appears on track to come down to Georgia.
Democrats have flipped two North Carolina districts that court-mandated redistricting made much more favorable for them and were not expected to be competitive. But picking up this GOP-held seat in Georgia -- which had topped CNN's ranking of the House districts most likely to flip -- comes as the party fell short in so many of their top-targeted seats.
