A Wave Is Still Coming Even If Conor Lamb Loses

Despite polls showing the race a dead heat, Conor Lamb (D) has to be considered the underdog in tomorrow’s special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district. President Trump won the district by 20 points in 2016 and Republicans have poured more than $8 million into the race. The seat is deemed so safe for Republicans that former Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) ran unopposed in 2014 and 2016.
