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.

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.

    So what are they going to do with it? Send some strongly worded letters to the fascists? Raise the ICE budget?

      It’s a seat in the state Senate and it’s still like 2/3 republican. What would you like this person to do? Can you offer anything other than poorly informed snark?

      Too soon to tell. Important thing is, a seat was taken away from the GOP, which puts some pressure on their “along party lines” votes.

      If the dude turns out to be a loser we can primary him later.
