Seat in a special election. Democrat jon ossoff got more votes than any of the other 18 candidates, but he needed more than 50 of the vote to avoid a runoff. He fell short with 48 . Now, instead of taking the seat outright, which is what democrats had hoped for, hes forced to go head to head with his republican challenger. In kansas, republicans held the seat vacated by mike pompeo, the new cia director, with 52 of the vote, but it was a good showing for the democrats, who had 45 in a strong gop district. The libertarian candidate was just shy of 2 . And with me now, democratic analyst Eleanor Dezzi, she had a long history of working in Pennsylvania Democratic politics, and is the founder of the dezzi group. Eleanor has been a delegate to multiple democratic conventions. And charlie gerow, charlie is the ceo of quantum communications. He advises business, government leaders, and politicians. Harrisburg magazine calls him the citys most politically wellconnected conservative. Thank you
