Republican Karen Handel easily beat back Democrat boy wonder Jon Ossoff in yesterday's special election in Georgia's 6th congressional district, touted as the most costly congressional race in American history.
Handel becomes the first female Republican elected to Congress from Georgia as Democrats' effort to throw a wrench in President Trump's already slow-moving legislative agenda fails rather spectacularly.
"Thanks to everyone who breathlessly and snarkily proclaimed #GA06 as a "referendum on POTUS @realDonaldTrump," Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway tweeted. "You were right. #winning[.]"
President Trump tweeted his congratulations to Handel "on her big win in Georgia 6th. Fantastic job, we are all very proud of you!"
