Leading Off

● OH-06: Democrats turned in a monster overperformance in a House race in a deep-red Ohio district on Tuesday night, once again raising questions about whether special elections or polls offer better guidance about the party's fortunes in November.

Republican state Sen. Michael Rulli hung on to defeat Democrat Michael Kripchik by a 55-45 margin in the 6th Congressional District to serve out the final six months of former Rep. Bill Johnson's term. But that spread was a far cry from Donald Trump's showing in the same district, which he carried 64-35 in 2020.

That represented a 19-point improvement for Kripchak, an Air Force veteran who, according to the Canton Repository, took a leave of absence from his job at a restaurant to focus on his campaign.
