Republicans Hit The Panic Button Following Connor Lamb Win

"A Republican strategist who talked with Business Insider says that the GOP should not try to put any rosy spin on the results of the election, as he said they would have been disastrous for the party even if Republican candidate Rick Saccone had pulled out a razor-thin victory.

“The narrow margin in a district the president won handily should be a serious wake-up call for Republican incumbents across the map,” the strategist said. “No suburban district is safe and every candidate better be ready for the most difficult cycle of their career.”

Another GOP strategist similarly told Business Insider that the loss should “serve as a wake-up call to everybody” in the GOP."
