If Democrats are winning in places like eastern Kentucky, then Republicans could be in for a long night on Tuesday. GOP Rep. Mimi Walters is running against Democrat Katie Porter, a consumer protection lawyer and Elizabeth Warren protégée. This contest features a matchup between two-term GOP Rep. David Young and Democrat Cindy Axne, a small business owner and first-time candidate. GOP Rep. Karen Handel scored a four-point victory in a fiercely-contested 2017 special election against Democrat Jon Ossoff. The two-term Democrat won her first race in 2006, a strong year for the party, and benefitted from a weak opponent in 2012.
