Democrats Likely to Hold Oregon Seat in Special Election

Polls show Suzanne Bonamici (D) holding a comfortable lead over Rob Cornilles (R) heading into the last day of balloting in the vote-by-mail special election to replace former Rep. David Wu (D-OR).

First Read: “The DCCC spent A LOT of money on this race; some might argue TOO much. But as they will argue, a loss of this special would have been DEVASTATING to their national narrative of keeping the House in play. So overpaying to avoid that storyline was worth it to them.”

Politico: “Republicans glumly acknowledge there’s little reason to expect the kind of upset the GOP scored last fall.”
