Another unlikely pickup opportunity for the Democrats in 2018.
Facing sexual harassment investigation, Arizona Rep. Trent Franks resigns. (USA Today, 12/8/2017)
Underperforming, Trump won this district by 21.1 percentage points in 2016, whereas Romney won by 24.8 percentage points in 2012. And a far cry from Franks' 37.1 percentage-point margin in 2016.
