i realize that state-level races aren't congressional races, but here in New York, there was a special election held in a part of Long Island that went big for Trump and has never been held by a Democrat. two days ago the Dem who ran- backed by labor and unions, a Bernie delegate, and a 25-year veteran public school teacher- not only won, but won by 15 points. she got help and funding from the Working Families Party, who were the entire reason she was the Dem's candidate to begin with
