1. Republican Karen Handel won Georgia's special House election on Tuesday, defeating Democrat Jon Ossoff in the most expensive House race in history. Ossoff, a political newcomer, received $25 million in contributions from progressives across the U.S. who are angry at President Trump. He led a large field in the first round, but Handel, a former Georgia secretary of state and Fulton County official, surged after the other conservatives were pushed out of the race.
