Against pretty much all odds, Republican Ed Durr defeated Democratic New Jersey State Senator Steve Sweeney with just $153 and a dream.

And Durr’s still basking in the afterglow.

Earlier this, he offered up this delightful retort to the Atlantic and Tom Nichols for being crabby over his victory:

Sen.-Elect Ed Durr on @SaveJersey live when asked about @TheAtlantic’s contention that he doesn’t know how to govern in the New Jersey legislature:

“How much worse could I make it?”

As if that wasn’t delightful enough, here’s what he said to Tucker Carlson last night regarding Sweeney:

Ed Durr on his conversation with Steve Sweeney who he just defeated:

“I just told him if he needed anything to give me a call, since I'm his representative now”

The quote is not quite right. Technically, Durr told Carlson “Like I told him: I says, you know, if he ever needed anything, just gimme a call, you know, because I’m his representative now.”
