Significance
Jones’s election victory in December was an upset, albeit not a surprising one, for the Republican Party, which had fielded a controversial candidate. The victory has also whetted Democratic expectations of electoral resurgence in November’s midterm elections.
Impacts
Even without a Democratic victory in Congress, Republicans will be divided and thus hesitant over policy.
After November, Democrats will begin seeking their presidential contender for 2020.
The Democrats will try to water down Trump immigration initiatives ahead of November’s midterms.
