      For context, here’s how the elections have gone down since 2011 for that seat:

      Year Democrat Republican Independent
      2011 86.1 13.9
      2015 46 18.8 25.6
      2019 100
      2023 100
      2026 62 38

      Not exactly a huge pro-democrat swing. This is actually the strongest contested result the republicans have had for this seat…

      It’s not really a swing when it’s a completely different office, especially with trump. There are many places were a local Democrat and Trump won in the same ballot, including this one.

      Also, the incumbent won, it’s literally not a flip.
