By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Her defeat, projected by NBC News, could mark the first time since the 1850s that New England has no Republican representation in Congress. The outcome of another closely contested race in Maine's 2nd Congressional District will determine if this complete Republican shutout occurs. AI
