The Georgia race is the fifth seat in a row Democrats failed to pick up.
Democrat Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley released a statement Tuesday night saying in part, “Winning in Georgia 6 – a district that hasn’t elected a Democrat in three decades – was always an uphill battle. Still, this was a tough loss – coming within a few points of victory but falling short is never how we want a campaign to end. But Democrats cannot let this defeat tamper our enthusiasm. The fight to defeat President Trump’s and the Republican majority’s extreme agenda is more important than ever.”
Crowley later added, “I remain confident that Democrats are incredibly well positioned for big wins in November 2018. I will fight endlessly to ensure our party is the party of the future.”
