Republicans Poised to Pick Up Rhode Island's Second Congressional District

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Rhode Island hasn't sent a Republican to Congress in 30 years, but Republican Allan Fung is poised to win the seat based on multiple polls. RI-02 is a strange district. Biden won it by 17 points, but it's more of a traditional blue collar Blue Dog Democrat district. The current rep who is retiring, Jim Langevin, even has a fairly strong pro-life voting record.

The traditional political lines are re-setting. This may take decades to sort out.

The RNC might win it this once, but they won't hold it in 2024.
