Donald Trump, Jr. took a swipe at Democrats after Republican Karen Handel won Georgia's special election for its sixth district on Tuesday.
Handel claimed victory over Democrat John Ossoff in one of the most expensive House races to date. Democrats are estimated to have spent more than $30 million to help Ossoff's campaign.
"Congratulations dems that's the most expensive participation medal ev... um since November. #maga," Trump Jr. tweeted.

Democrats were hoping to score a victory in Georgia's sixth district after Trump only carried the GOP vote by 2 points in November.
Handel will be the first Republican congresswoman in Georgia's history.
UPDATED 10:09 A.M.: This post was updated to note that Democrats spent around $30 million to help Jon Ossoff's campaign. The original version incorrectly said that Ossoff's campaign spent nearly $60 million.
