Republican Mia Love TAKES THE LEAD In Utah

The Democrats may have the majority in the House…

But it looks like we COULD be taking back a seat.

Incumbent Republican Mia Love is taking the lead in this virtually-ignored race. (Interesting how the media only talks about the races where Democrats are raising a stink, huh?)

According to Fox News:

A Republican incumbent congresswoman from Utah pulled ahead of her Democratic opponent by several hundred votes Friday, gaining her first lead in the House contest since Election Day.

WOO!

After the latest tally, U.S. Rep. Mia Love, 42, held a razor-thin 419-vote lead over Democratic challenger and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams for the state’s 4th Congressional District, FOX13 Utah reported.

The two-term incumbent had previously trailed McAdams early Friday afternoon by 1,169 votes before the release of updated numbers from Utah County, the station reported.

It’s INSANE how many of these races are SO. FREAKING. CLOSE. If anything, it truly proves that we’re divided right down the middle right now.

McAdam’s campaign still believes they will be victorious in the end.

McAdam’s campaign has called the Utah County results “unsurprising,” saying they track with earlier voter trends.

“We’re optimistic that when final numbers are reported Monday, Ben McAdams will again be winning,” McAdams’ campaign manager, Andrew Roberts, told the Salt Lake Tribune.

McAdams, confident of victory, had spent the past week in Washington, attending House orientation meetings and even appearing in the freshman class photo, the paper reported.

Soooo yeah. I wouldn’t hold my breath for her. But there’s ALWAYS a chance!
