And then for her part, Ilhan Omar, who was talk of the night because of her constant yelling and screaming throughout the event, doubled down on CNN.

Omar went on to actually tweet a direct accusation at Trump, saying, Donald Trump killed two of my constituents.

That means the main battlegrounds this November, as usual, you could probably guess, will be Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, but also Maine.

Republicans could also face tight races in Alaska and Ohio, while Democrats are once again expressing optimism about their chances
