Headline:  Fox News, 9/9/2025

Paul Steinhauser reports:

With the vast majority of votes counted on Tuesday evening, Walkinshaw appeared headed for a roughly 50-point victory margin over Whitson. Connolly won re-election by nearly 34 points last December, and by 33 points in the 2022 midterms. 

"Rep-elect Walkinshaw’s victory continues the dominant trend we’re seeing so far this year – Democrats are massively overperforming in nearly every race," Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin said in a statement.
