RE: Dems lose again in most expensive house race in history - GOP’s Karen Handel Beats Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia House Race
I heard Ossoff had spent a total of $50 million. Not close to H.Clinton's waste, but still a sizable chunk for the race.
Total spent for the race was ~$50 million. This includes the amount spent by Republicans/Handle. Even still, this is going to be a tough loss for the Democrats to overcome. They will have to find some other way to build momentum if they want to have any chance of taking control of the House in 2018. This isn't a great win for Republicans though. They were supposed to win this race, and they wasted a lot of money and manpower on a race that wasn't supposed to be close. Interesting times we live in and the road to 2018 will be a roller coaster.
I would not be surprised if it was 50 million
I couldn't be more removed from this race being that I'm Wayy out of that district, but for what it's worth I had also passively read some articles stating that Ossoff had been vilified and alienated by the Dems when he dipped in the polls.
