Summary
Oregon Democrat Janelle Bynum won a seat in the U.S. House, becoming the state’s first Black representative after defeating Republican incumbent Lori Chavez-DeRemer in a closely watched race for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District.
Bynum led by a strong margin in key counties, ensuring a Democratic victory. Her campaign emphasized combatting extremism, reproductive rights, and economic growth, and she received significant support and funding from national Democrats.
While Republicans retain a narrow lead in the overall House, Bynum’s win represents a major gain for Oregon Democrats amid a competitive election cycle.
And I don’t see it going well for JD Vance either should he step in. Most of the country hates him.
Doesn’t really matter if the entire Republican Party is behind his ideals (Peter Theil’s removed with a side of project 2025) We have no voice.
