Bacon always had a great chance of winning, polls of congressional districts are notoriously unreliable. He's probably done in 2026 though, but who knows.

Bacon is very hard to beat. He defeated a far-left Democrat in 2018 and 2020.

Not much of an upset since we all knew that Bacon was able to win.
