Sorry, I don't understand what's happened (I'm from the UK)

There was a special election bc the person(R) who held the seat left late last year for another position. Malone won in what is a very Republican district.

Thank you for explaining. The US system is very different from the UK, although the actual parties are similar. That's an amazing result, especially so soon after the election 👍

You're welcome! And hopefully it's a sign of other things to come.

We look on in horror at what's happening and stand with you 🙏

Thanks, but thankfully I've been living in Europe for a while. I'm sorry for friends and family there.

Congratulate him, support him and have his back against the Trump regime! We need to support elected officials who are willing to fight against Trump to have as much support as possible.
