Right now, the trend is the Dem's friend. It's too soon to know how well the momentum carries over into Nov. Democrats Win Special Election In Missouri District That Went Big ... HuffPost-Feb 7, 2018 Democrats flipped a Missouri state House seat Tuesday, marking the 35th seat that has changed from red to blue since Donald Trumpbecame president. Mike Revis, 27, defeated his Republican opponent in a special election Tuesday by 3 percentage points. The 97th District in Jefferson County went for Trump in the presidential election by 28 points. The area is historically Democratic but has recently tilted Republican. In other words, the district has swung 31 percentage points toward Democrats since Trump won last year. Last month, Democrats also picked up a seat in Wisconsin's state Senate, where Democrat Patty Schachtner defeated her opponent by 11 percentage points, taking a seat Republicans had held since 2001. The district was solidly red: Trump won by 17 percentage points in 2016, , and Republican Mitt Romney won it in 2012. The Republican incumbent state senator won her re-election race in 2016 by 26 points.
