Another overperformance for Democrats, this time in Louisiana. [View all]

Was a Democratic seat before, but still!!!

NEWS: Democrat Chasity Martinez has won the Louisiana HD-60 special election, defeating Republican Brad Daigle and holding the seat.

Martinez won 63%–37%. Trump carried the district by 13 points in 2024.

Another major Democratic overperformance.
