It'll be genuinely difficult to keep up with all the different investigations.

That's if Mueller hasn't nailed him by then anyway.

And with this stunning turnaround in a safe Republican seat that the Democrats haven't even contested in over a decade and were outspent massively we go live to Democratic party headquarters:

Drawing on his background as a Marine and former federal prosecutor, Lamb disowned Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and staked out positions on abortion, guns and fracking that hewed closer to the GOP.

But Lamb also embraced the classics of the Democratic playbook, hammering Saccone for allegedly wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare, and uniting Pittsburgh's powerful unions behind him in a way no Democrat had before in that district.

While the district will soon no longer exist, thanks to a recent ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and one House seat is not worth much in 2018 Washington, the race was nonetheless freighted with real consequences for both parties as they gear up for a crucial midterm election.



Huge win Kirkland, HUGE
