A GOP congressional candidate in Rhode Island is starting to look like he could flip the seat.

Would the first change in party in decades.

A Rhode Island Republican is more Democrat than a Louisiana Democrat

Rhode Island is a blue hellhole but if they can help fire Nancy Pelosi that would be fantastic.

That goes to show you if the Republicans put up decent candidates that appeal to the local culture and politics, they can be competitive. Nominating far right candidates who dismiss any criticism of Jan 6 and have extreme views on abortion in any area outside extremely red, conservative areas is a guaranteed loss. Both parties need more diversity of thought and viewpoint.

Actually it shows how toxic and awful Democrats are.

Hellhole? Really?

I think it's pretty nice, even if the locals are politically naive.

The Democrat won RI-2 by about 3%. It looks like the six New England states have continued to elect only Democrats to the House.
