Republican House candidate Tom Tiffany won the special election for Wisconsin’s 7th District with ease, beating his Democratic opponent by about 14 points. Democrats want to claim this was some sort of referendum on President Trump and the GOP.

This suggestion is a dubious bit of political pro-wrestling monologue. Wisconsin’s 7th District, a rural area made up of mostly white, working-class people, is precisely the sort of area Trump has nudged toward the Republican Party. He won the district by more than 20 points in 2016. And former Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, who stepped down late last year for family reasons, had held this seat for nearly a decade, consistently beating his Democratic rivals by at least a 15-point margin.
