June 20 (UPI) -- Republican Karen Handel defeated Democrat Jon Ossoff in the most expensive congressional election in U.S. history to replace former Georgia Rep. Tom Price, who joined the Trump administration.
Together, the campaigns spent more than $55 million, with Ossoff outspending Handel by roughly $25 million. But despite his vast support from the Democratic Party and online popularity, including celebrity endorsements from people like actress Alyssa Milano, Ossoff did not beat Handel in Georgia's 6th District, which has belonged to the GOP since 1979.
