Karen Handel won a hard fought Congressional seat in Georgia’s 6th district. The Democrats poured 50 Million dollars into Jon Ossoff’s campaign making it the most expensive Congressional race ever! Handel spoke and thanked President Trump…the crowd went nuts and chanted Trump, Trump, Trump!

LONG FACES AT CNN AFTER KAREN HANDEL WINS!

ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES WAS THAT OSSOFF DIDN’T LIVE IN THE DISTRICT:

Democrat Jon Ossoff said Tuesday that he believes voters in Georgia’s sixth congressional district do not care that he does not live in the district he is running to represent, dismissing questions on his residency. Well, he did work for Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson for 5 years…Johnson famously said the island of Guam would tip over but was reelected anyway. Details, meh…

Ossoff’s residency has been a persistent problem for him during his special election campaign to fill Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price’s vacant House seat.

OSSOFF SAID HE ‘LIVES DOWN THE STREET’ BUT IT TOOK A WASHINGTON FREE BEACON REPORTER OVER 2 HOURS TO WALK FROM OSSOFF’S HOUSE TO THE 6TH DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS!

Should Trump appoint a new Supreme Court Justice before the election?

The Georgia Democrat lives a two-hour walk away from the sixth district, so that his fiancée can walk to her medical school classes.

The question of where he lives came up again when Ossoff appeared on MSNBC. Host Stephanie Ruhle asked why, in such a close race, Ossoff has not made a greater effort to address his residency outside of the district.

“Voters just aren’t asking me this question,” Ossoff responded.

“Folks here in Georgia’s sixth district care about how their representation is going to impact their daily lives,” he added.

“I grew up in this community. As you mentioned, I live a couple of miles down the road to support my fiancée while she finishes medical school,” Ossoff said. “I’m running to serve my home town in Congress, and I want to make them proud.”

Ruhle pushed Ossoff on why he would not address the issue in such a tight race.

“Since the special election, where you were at 48.1 [percent], things have only moved to 48.8, with 50 million bucks under your belt. Voters care about a lot. If you look back on this and things are that tight, wouldn’t you say to yourself, just get an apartment in the district?” Ruhle asked.

“If voters were raising that as a serious concern, Steph, maybe I would,” Ossoff said.

“But voters care about how policy and about how representation is going to impact their daily lives,” he continued. “They know I grew up in this community. They know I grew up in the sixth district. They know why I’m a couple of miles south of the line. It’s just not a major issue in the race.”

Because he lives outside of the district, Ossoff cannot vote for himself on Tuesday in his congressional bid against Republican Karen Handel.
