FORD JR. DEFEATS DESJARLAIS IN SECOND ELECTION
WASHINGTON- After the long campaign and the once thought to be Safe Republican and which early polls showed Senator Ford to lose by double digits against Representative DesJarlais until the October Surprise, in where Herman Cain called Republican voters stupid and uneducated in a private tape leaked, and DesJarlais's Divorce proceedings were released, which were a bombshell for the Republicans and resulted in many Republicans didn't vote, voted for the write-in candidacy of Zach Wemp, or voted for Harold Ford Jr., who pushed himself as a personally Pro-Life candidate, which resulted in the RSCC to spend money in Tennesee, instead of Virginia, Wisconsin, and the Republican seats of Nevada, and Arizona. The race was a tossup, and most people expected a recount, but they didn't expect it to be tied, and recounts went on for 6 months until a revote was granted. In the 2013 Senate election, another bombshell for DesJarlais when someone released a leak of him asking a mistress to have an abortion and a second woman, who came 10 days before the election, to state that she began dating DesJarlais while she was his patient, She alleged that the two smoked marijuana together and that he prescribed opioids for her while she was at his house, which made National Republicans give up on DesJarlais and nobody expected for him to win except for a couple of hacks, mostly on a Atlas Forum. What was surprising was the margin, as most people thought that Ford would win by a 52-40 margin but Ford won after the polls closed and won by a 60 - 37 margin, humiliating Republicans.
