Репост из: Rybar in English
📝Alarm Bells📝
In Texas, a special Senate election in the 9th district was won by a Democrat — an absolutely unprecedented situation for the Texas political landscape.
Republicans had dominated this district since 1991, and in the 2024 elections, Donald Trump took 17 points here.
Conservative Republican activist Lee Wamsgans was crushed (57% vs 43%) by 33-year-old Air Force veteran Taylor Remet. Notably, Wamsgans had a mega-budget of $736k compared to Remet's $70k, and received support from Governor Greg Abbott and President Trump.
Wamsgans lost due to low Republican turnout (winter weather + apathy), as well as Trump's harsh immigration policy — Texas, being a border state, has many immigrants.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party is in panic — the Texas election results may serve as a grim harbinger of its total collapse in the November Congressional elections.
