Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel are the candidates in the closely watched special election in the 6th Congressional District in Georgia. But despite Ossoff’s financial advantage — the showdown is the most expensive House race in history — Democrats remain on edge. Polls show the clash between Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel too close to call, and GOP candidates have prevailed in several special elections this year. Many Democrats see the Georgia race and their health-care moves as intertwined. Democrats need to flip 24 ­Republican-held seats to take back the House majority, which they lost seven years ago.
