Does Donald Trump have coattails? It’s beginning to appear as if he does, and even the lefty media is beginning to acknowledge this.
Republicans have gone 4-for-4 in special congressional elections to replace members who resigned to accept positions in the Trump administration. Democrats argued that three of the races were on safe ground for Republicans – in Montana, Kansas and South Carolina.
But they threw a record $39 million at winning the seat in Georgia’s 6th congressional district and fell short by a considerable total. And an analysis published on the Huffington Post shows Trump and his powerful tweets made a big difference.
Digital media specialists with Lake Research Partners looked at all the Twitter activity for the last four days of the campaign. They looked at tweets from national actors such as the president and the news media, as well as tweets from bots and activists on both sides.
