Just last week Aftyn Behn over-performed by ~13%, so the definition of a swing district has changed!

Congratulations to @aftynbehn.bsky.social on an incredible campaign.
In a district Trump won by 22 points, she closed the gap to 9, built important Democratic infrastructure, and forced the GOP to spend millions defending a “safe” seat.
That’s not a loss. That’s a preview of 2026.
