This is a deep BLUE DISTRICT that Biden won in 2020, Clinton won in 2016 and Harris won in 2024. DC is BLUE when it comes to its one House race. There is little to no chance of a Republican winning a national race here. So Democrats who don’t want to waste their vote can choose to vote third party and swap their vote with someone in a purple state where the Democrat does have a chance of winning a seat.
