Republicans had a massive win in Wisconsin’s special election.

GOP candidate  Tom Tiffany won the special election in Wisconsin’s 7th congressional district. This was the race to replace retiring congressman Sean Duffy.

This is a district that Obama won back in 2008 and 2012, but since then the district has leaned heavily GOP.

Obama has that effect on people.

So it wasn’t a huge surprise that Tiffany defeated his opponent Tricia Zunker, but the really good news is that it was an old fashioned butt whoopin’…hopefully a sign of more good things to come in 20202.

A Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump has easily won a special congressional election in a heavily conservative rural Wisconsin district.

Tom Tiffany’s win Tuesday over Democrat Tricia Zunker comes in the second election held in Wisconsin amid the coronavirus the past five weeks. Tiffany will replace former reality TV star Sean Duffy, who retired in September. The district has been vacant since Duffy’s retirement.

Trump carried the rural district by 20 points in 2016 and backed Tiffany in the race. Zunker was trying to become the first Native American elected to Congress from Wisconsin.
