Trump only won this district by 1.5% in November. It is certainly true that this district has voted consistently and overwhelmingly Republican in past elections of all types. Given the numbers from the last Presidential election in this district and Trump's dismal current popularity poll numbers during a race that was to a significant degree a referendum on Trump's presidency, losing by 3.8% to the Republican candidate does not look like much of a moral victory for the Democrats.
