The Dem challenger is leading with about half the vote in. I have no idea if she has a shot at winning or not (doubtful), but the fact that this race is even close should give the Pubs pause.

Dang, I was just coming to start a thread. Both the incumbent and Trump have won this by 20%. This certainly looks far closer than that.
I was watching live updates below, Republican up .3 with 58%
Behn is a babe.
It is up to 4%. In redistricting places like Indiana they are taking +20 districts down to +12 to take the two D districts. If the Democrats show they could have won a +12, what will that mean for redistricting? Indiana could go to 3 or 4 D seats in such a scenario.

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm not convinced Indiana will do the redistricting thing.

Polymarkets called it about an hour ago for the GOP.

So did the Kommie channel. Point being it was far closer than a Trump +22 district should be.
Looks like it will be about +9. If that happens everywhere next year, losing 11 points ... .
Meh, the guy who previously held the seat took 59% of the vote in 2024, this was a special election mid term and the new guy still took 54% against an onslaught of DNC cash infusion. I would say it's premature to point to this race as some kind of bellwether.
A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"
by itself it means little. Add in the Ds ran ahead in almost every race, in some states almost every county, in November and it adds to the picture.Meh, the guy who previously held the seat took 59% of the vote in 2024, this was a special election mid term and the new guy still took 54% against an onslaught of DNC cash infusion.

The proposed Indiana map now looks like Illinois. It’s horseshit but the Democrats complained about the previous clean map as well.

probably because it wasn't a clean map.. just cleaner than what they are now proposing.

Define clean in this context…if you are able?
