Democrats are celebrating their “momentum” after another win in a deep red part of New Hampshire.
This past Tuesday, Democrat Bobbi Boudman won a special election for a seat in the state’s legislature in a district that the current president won by double digits in 2024. She defeated Republican Dale Fincher 52-48, The Daily Beast reports, flipping the seat from red to blue.
The Democratic Party said that this is part of a larger, nationwide trend, noting that the party has flipped 28 seats nationwide in special and off-year elections since the 2024 presidential election.
“Tuesdays are becoming a headache for state Republicans across the country as they suffer one stunning defeat after another,” said Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee president Heather Williams. “These wins aren’t a flash in a pan—together, they tell an undeniable story of Democratic momentum as voters reject Republicans and blame them for soaring costs.”
