A victory by New Hampshire Democrat Bobbi Boudman on Tuesday in a district previously carried by Donald Trump marked the 28th such election upset for Republicans since he retook office, an increasingly realistic portent of a midterm season that ends with Trump losing control of Congress.
Boudman clinched the state legislative seat this week after voters had backed Trump-endorsed Republican candidates in 2020 and 2024, the latter race Boudman lost by more than 13 points, according to Marissa Hebert, a spokesperson for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. Yet as Democrats across the United States continue to flip districts in their favor — and despite desperate demands from Trump for Republicans to propose legislation to limit Americans' ability to vote — the GOP has not flipped any.
