Earlier tonight, a senior campaign adviser for Lamb told CNN’s Jason Carroll that they remain optimistic that they can defeat Saccone.
On the other hand, Saccone told his supporters that the race is not yet over. They are “still fighting the fight.”
Republicans spents over $10 billion to prevent a defeat
Republicans spent more than $10 million to prevent Democrats from flipping the district. President Donald Trump won the district by 20 percentage points in 2016. The President is surprised by the slim margin. He is asking for updates while at his fundraising dinner in California, according to a Republican official.
If Lamb wins, it is a sign that Democrats could regain control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Republican could lose even in districts considered safe. It could also lead to more House members retiring instead of running a very risky re-election bid, according to political observers.
