I am a bit skeptical, however. The GOP candidate seems to have made inroads over the last week or so. Hopefully, I am wrong and she wins.

this will send political shockwaves through the repig party and hopefully, the repigs will accelerate their throwing Pedonald under the bus to try to save their own asses.
As my late father used to say, Turn around is fair play, or, For every action, there is a reaction.

I think the publicity of the race and how close it is has changed the outcome in favor of the Republican.

and the Republicans with money may be too busy shopping to vote.....

and are less motivated than Democrats.... who have been doing very well
in 'special elections' since 2022, when it comes down to it---

YES, the district's demographics favor the Republican fascist nazis,
but even if they win it, the margin may be quite instructive....

Latest poll I read put the Democrat within two percentage points,
which should never have been possible except that their fuhrer
has been doing all he can do to make 'real Americans' OPPOSE him....
