Republican dashes Democrat hopes, secures contested Georgia Senate special election



After Georgia Democrats expressed confidence in their chances to win a state Senate special election leading up to the vote on Tuesday, the Republican candidate came out on top.

Deep-red District 21 elected Republican Jason Dickerson over Democrat Debra Shigley in the special election.

'Conservatives in District 21 sent a strong message: Woke liberal ideology has no place here.'

Dickerson won by a margin of just over 7,000 votes, collecting just under 62% of the total.

In the August special election for the seat, Shigley put up better numbers than expected in the seven-candidate race. However, no candidate won a majority, triggering the September 23 special election.

Shigley's initial success drew national attention to the deep-red state Senate race, with DNC Chairman Ken Martin even traveling to Georgia to campaign with the Democrat candidate on Saturday, the Washington Examiner reported.

“I am incredibly proud of the campaign our team ran and thankful for every single person who volunteered their time fighting for a better Georgia,” Shigley said in a statement.

"Conservatives in District 21 sent a strong message: Woke liberal ideology has no place here. I'm looking forward to taking office and fulfilling their mandate to champion the America First values that make us the greatest state to live, work, and raise a family," Dickerson said in a statement.

Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon celebrated the retention of the long-held Republican seat. “We knew from the start this election would come down to turnout,” he said. “By meeting voters directly on their phones and online, we cut through the noise and drove Republicans to the polls. Our digital ground game made the difference.”

President Trump tapped the incumbent state Senator Brandon Beach to assume the office of U.S. treasurer earlier this year. Beach vacated the seat, which he had held since 2013, on May 5.

Dickerson's win on Tuesday solidifies the Republican majority of 33 to 23 in the Georgia Senate, though the margin has been shrinking since 2018.

CNN analyst voices growing concerns over Democrat chances in 2026 midterms: 'As good ... as the Cracker Barrel rebrand'



The floundering of the Democratic Party is becoming impossible to ignore while Republicans continue to make positive gains in swing states. At least one mainstream media outlet is now admitting that Democrats are in trouble ahead of the 2026 midterms, and the numbers appear to prove it.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten broke down the major gains in voter registration in key swing states for Republicans.

'The Democratic brand is in about as good a position as the Cracker Barrel rebrand.'

Looking at the data from Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Enten said, "The Republican Party is in their best position at this point in the cycle since at least 2005, in all four of these key battleground states."

Enten showed that Arizona had a three-point gain in Republican voter registration; Nevada had a six-point gain. Strikingly, North Carolina and Pennsylvania both had an eight-point gain in Republican voter registration.

"Are there any bright spots for Democrats? Have they picked up any ground since January 1 in terms of party registration? I'm not seeing it in these key swing states, these four key swing states. That's what we're talking about: party registration margin gain since January 1, 2025."

"The Democratic brand is in about as good a position as the Cracker Barrel rebrand," he added.
