"AMY GOODMAN: We begin today’s show in Georgia, where the Republicans
have pulled off a victory in the most expensive congressional race in
history. In a special election in Georgia’s 6th District, Republican
Karen Handel won nearly 53 percent of the vote, defeating her
challenger, Democrat Jon Ossoff, to be—to fill the seat left vacant
after Tom Price resigned to become secretary of health and human

The candidates and outside groups spent more than $55 million
on the race, a record-shattering amount. While the seat has been held by
a Republican for decades, Democrats were hoping to pull off an upset in
the suburban Atlanta district where Trump’s approval rating
is just 35 percent. This marks the fourth congressional race Democrats
have lost since the election of Trump. Speaking Tuesday night, Handel
thanked Trump.”
