"especially since Nolan outperformed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the district"

I can't say I find that surprising in the least. Clinton took the state for granted, and Trump put some effort in - ads and the high-profile visit right before the election. Plus all the nasty lies about Clinton that resonated with rural and uninformed voters. But the people of the 8th know Rick Nolan and didn't fall as much for the vicious Mills campaign lies.
