Sean Spicer: Ossoff’s victory over Republican opponent in Georgia ‘big loss’

The White House has claimed a special election in Georgia in which a young Democrat came first by almost 30 points, was in fact a “big loss” for the party.

In what many observers viewed as a major blow to Donald Trump and the Republicans, Democrat Jon Ossoff secured 48 per cent in an election for Georgia’s sixth congressional district, a seat that had previously been occupied by Tom Price, now the president’s health secretary.

Had Mr Ossoff managed to get more than 50 per cent of the total, he would have won outright. As it is, he will go forward for a run-off on June 20th against Republican Karen Handel.
