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.

    Dems lost in '16 and '24 because they did not hold primaries and just hoped that there were enough people opposed to Trump

    2020, yes, but 2016 wasn’t about Trump. The Dem establishment had already decided “it’s her turn” well before Trump even won being taken seriously, and before his first primary win in NH. The Democratic Party eliminated the democratic process from its primaries and is baffled why people are mad at that.
