Democrats scored a stunning upset on Saturday in a special election runoff for Texas Senate, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ, giving the party a major boost ahead of the November midterms.

Fort Worth Democrat Taylor Rehmet, a machinist and Air Force veteran, defeated Southlake Republican Leigh Wambsganss to fill the vacant state Senate District 9. 

The district favored President Trump — who endorsed Wambsganss earlier on Saturday — by 17 points in 2024. The race went to a runoff after none of the candidates were able to clinch a majority in the November election.

Rehmet’s overperformance in the fall stoked concerns for the GOP, and a number of prominent party leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott (R), intervened in the race in an effort to boost Wambsganss.

blue gonna devour in November.

If you are from Ohio like me please remember to vote for Dr. Amy Acton! She is actually ahead in the polls right now and would be the first democrat Governor in 14 years and the first woman as Governor of the great state of Ohio! 

 

But 2028 is really important. And we gotta start talking about putting in a real progressive.

Enough of the Diet Democrats! Make way for the deep blue! We are far from the shallow now, bitches!
