Karen Handel

Georgia's liberal grass-roots groups say they are more energized than discouraged after Democrat Jon Ossoff's disappointing, close loss to Republican Karen Handel in a closely watched special election

Georgia's sixth-district special congressional election will be held 130 days after it was first announced. That's far longer than full national elections take in places like the U.K. and Mexico.

The contest between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel has obliterated spending records. A win for the Democrats would be a blow to President Trump, but the race remains incredibly close.
