BREAKING: Race Just Called For Critical U.S. House Seat In Ohio

Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur got another term in Congress, outmaneuvering President Trump-backed Republican Derek Merrin.

Kaptur, the longest-serving woman in U.S. House history, held her ground in a race the AP hesitated to call.

But was it a legitimate win? Mail-in votes are in question for her district.

The certified results showed her win was just outside the recount trigger zone.

Now she prepares to return to Washington. But she’ll be in for a surprise.

The reign of the Democrats are over.

AP reports:

Democratic U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur won another term in the U.S. House on Wednesday, after defeating a Republican state lawmaker endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump.

Her victory in northwest Ohio over fourth-term state Rep. Derek Merrin allows Kaptur to continue her streak as the longest-serving woman in House history. The outcome emerged from final results certified by the Lucas County Board of Elections in Toledo.

The Associated Press had previously said the race was too early to call, despite Kaptur declaring victory just before 2 a.m. the morning after Election Day. AP called the race for Kaptur on Wednesday. Final results were slightly outside the 0.5% margin that would have triggered an automatic recount, with libertarian candidate Tom Pruss scoring about 4% of the vote.

Kaptur, 78, was viewed as among the year’s most vulnerable congressional incumbents, placing Ohio’s 9th Congressional District in the middle of a campaign battle where spending topped $23 million, according to figures compiled by OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan tracker of campaign finance data.

Her campaign said in a statement that Kaptur had overcome millions spent by special interests to distort her record.

But did she really win?

And here’s Ben Kamens, someone who works for Kaptur, being asked about misusing funds to pay off his own student loan.
