Democrats flip Texas state Senate seat in shock upset

[pinkstarburst]

44. I have always had a high opinion

of all three of them (Talarico, Crockett, Allred) and I would be more inclined to believe this is the right lying and desperately trying to do anything they can to ruin our chances in the midterms than that one of our people would do this. It comes as no surprise to me that this would happen right after that Texas senate seat upset that was such a shocker in a completely safe "red" district that Trump won by 17 points in 2024. The other thing I find notable is who won--a white male blue collar working class candidate, who was able to pick up lots of Hispanic and white votes.

I think republicans would have to look at that stunning loss, look at Talarico and Crockett and determine in the statewide November race, that Talarico is the bigger threat. I think there are far more Hispanic men who may have voted for Trump in 2024 who might be willing to switch sides and vote for a white guy vs a Black woman. Unfortunately, we've seen this play out in the last two presidential elections that we lost.
