establishment republicans by comfortable margins. however, democrats spot an opportunity for president trump s struggle back in november. president trump only wanted by 1.5% and that is what this is all about and that s why there are so many national forces at play in this race, so much national money pouring into this, particularly on the democrat side. with campaign spending topping $50 million, an all-time record for a u.s. house race and much of that money is coming from out of state, the airwaves in the atlantic area have been saturated with campaign ads. democrat jon ossoff has been campaigning as a moderate, but conservative groups are trying to link him to the liberal wing of his party. now the unhinged left is endorsing and applauding shooting republicans. when will it stop?
important to show up and turn out. they to use this as a dagger to stop the conservative agenda, to stop obamacare repeal, to stop tax reform, to stop the reasons why the american people gave us a republican president. if you care about that agenda, if you care about strong conservatives and the supreme court, it matters to win the elections. jon: is that kind of message resonating in georgia s sixth district? clinical party democrats and republicans tend to overstate the significance of the special elections. millhouse race next year will spend $30 million. none will get the attention of those particular races spending. karen handel is going to win.
this is a big deal for them. if they lose today, they will be 0-4 and special elections because let s not forget, there s a special election in south carolina s fifth district. they have to get a victory. what are they going to keep going back to their base and sa say? americans like winners so they ll keep saying to their base, you keep giving us all this money, but we are going to keep losing elections because the reality is, no matter who wins this election, republicans don t control congress tomorrow. jon: brandon, i suspect you see this differently. what s at stake here today is a deeply red district that s overwhelmingly republican. it s a close election and the race should never be close. there are 71 districts in this country that are more democrat it. i m a republican in one of those
71 districts. i m watching this race and i m very nervous at the race is even close. jon: you to have done a great job of underselling expectations for your sides. we are going to talk more about this race and also touch on that race in south carolina right after this. if you have medicare parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance plan whenever you want. no enrollment window. no waiting to apply. that means now may be a great time to shop for an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan,
