Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Democrats snatched a stunning flip this week in a Republican stronghold after Democrat Bobbi Boudman won a state house seat in a rural New Hampshire district where President Donald Trump won by double digits just 16 months ago.Boudman's 52-48 victory over Republican Dale Fincher in the special election marked her third attempt at the seat and signaled a dramatic shift in voter sentiment, The Daily Beast noted Thursday. More than 4,000 ballots were cast in the Carroll County race near the Maine border.Republicans have found themselves underwater since Trump's election, with Democrats having now flipped 28 state legislative seats since he returned to the White House, according to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.“Tuesdays are becoming a headache for state Republicans across the country as they suffer one stunning defeat after another,” committee president Heather Williams declared. “These wins aren’t a flash in a pan—together, they tell an undeniable story of Democratic momentum as voters reject Republicans and blame them for soaring costs.”Boudman's campaign hammered affordability, education, and fiscal responsibility, issues where Trump's polling has cratered. Recent surveys show 62 percent of Americans disapprove of his economic stewardship, with 48 percent convinced his policies are hurting the economy.Boudman won on a shoestring budget of just $12,000 with minimal outside help, while Fincher burned through $55,000.
