Shock for Democrats as Jon Ossoff loses in Georgia
Georgia has provided further proof if any were needed that the Russiagate scandal is failing to gain traction with the US public.
Over the last few two months a frenzied campaign has been underway in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District, which the Democrats have been hoping to win in the expectation that the US public is turning against President Trump and the Republicans.
There were reasons why the Democrats had particularly high hopes of this district. It is a well off, well-educated suburban district with a demographic profile expected to favour the Democrats.
