Republican Kim Klacik fell short on Election Day in her bid to win the U.S. House seat in a Maryland district that includes inner-city Baltimore.

Despite a viral successful campaign ad that received backing from the President, Klacik was defeated by Democratic incumbent Rep. Kweisi Mfume in the state's 7th Congressional District.

The Associated Press were the first to call the race for Mfume, a former president and CEO of the NAACP, at 11:19 p.m. EST.

“We gave it our best shot! So proud of my team. It’s sad someone that doesn’t lift a finger could win a congressional seat just by name, but this is not the end,” Klacik tweeted, accepting her defeat.

“This is still a win. Congratulations @Mfume4Congress. Prepare to be held accountable like never before. Thx CD7!”

Klacik’s viral campaign ad showing the candidate walking through some of the more neglected areas of Baltimore lambasted Democratic leadership in urban areas with a large African American population and catapulted her to GOP stardom when President Trump retweeted the video in August.

Since the ad, Klacik spoke at the RNC and has made several national television appearances pledging to develop jobs in opportunity zones like Baltimore, declaring that “all Black lives matter,” and, “Baltimore doesn’t have to vote Democrat.”

She is a part of the new black movement opposing BLm and other extreme groups that lean towards socialist side of politics.

Baltimore emerged at the center of racial politics when the president criticized its deteriorating conditions in 2019, bringing to a confrontation with former Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.

Klacik was defeated in April’s special election by Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who filled the seat left unoccupied by Cummings after his death.

Mfume, who is both the predecessor and successor to the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, did not react to his victory immediately.

Mfume, 72, already defeated Klacik in a special election in April for the seat. He is a big part of the ‘swamp’ and one of the reasons Baltimore looks the way it does.

He was to complete the remainder of Cummings’ term after his death in October 2019 following a long battle with health complications, and also during the impeachment hearing against president Trump.

Klacik raised a whopping $6,445,451 for her congressional campaign from July 1 through Sept. 30, according to her latest filing with the Federal Election Commission in mid-October.

Most contributions came from out-of-state donors, the Baltimore Sun reported. Her opponent Mgume raised $184,349 during the same fundraising quarter.

Klacik seems optimistic with her political career, still pledging to save the city of Baltimore from poor democrat leadership.
