DEBBIE LESKO (R), ARIZONA CONG.-ELECT: I won! This is awesome.</s>KING: Yes, a win is a win, but is there a message in the margin? That's the conversation today after Republicans hold on to a red congressional district in Arizona. We just saw Debbie Lesko there. She edged out the Democrat, Hiral Tipirneni by five points in Arizona's 8th Congressional District. Five points is too close for GOP comfort. President Trump won Arizona 8th by 21 points in 2016. And back in 2012, Mitt Romney carried the district by 25 points. Last night's special election, no fluke. In nine special congressional elections this cycle, Democrats have outperformed the partisan baseline based on the last two presidential elections. Outperformed, their past performance in all nine, all nine of the special elections. Make no mistake, the Democratic Senate candidate in Arizona, Kyrsten Sinema among those taking notes. And that's the key point here. Yes, the Republicans held it. They had to spend a couple million dollars. They had a little bit of a panic at the end. And again, we are seeing Democrats are coming out of the woodwork even in places where they're outnumbered, they're coming out of the woodwork to vote</s>MATTINGLY: So I think there's -- one of the most interesting elements about this race, in two point, a win is a win, there's now a new member of the Republican Conference</s>KING: Makes her much tougher statewide. Look around the country, look around suburbs out to the exurbs, Democrats are doing much better in traditional Republican territory. Arizona polls were saying this, "Republican shouldn't be hitting the alarm, they should be slamming it." Six months from Tuesday, the midterm elections. We've got some more audio on that big Supreme Court hearing today, arguments on the President's travel ban, more of that. We'll take you inside the arguments right after the break.
