In a speech before cheering supporters, Democrat Taylor Rehmet dedicated his victory “to everyday working people.”
Democrats scored a major upset on Saturday, as machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet easily defeated Republican opponent Leigh Wambsganss in a state senate special election held in a deep-red district that Donald Trump carried by 17 percentage points in 2024.
With nearly all votes counted, Rehmet holds a 14-point lead in Texas’ Senate District 9, which covers a large portion of Tarrant County.
Republican opponent Wambsganss conceded defeat in the race but vowed to win an upcoming rematch in November.
“The dynamics of a special election are fundamentally different from a November general election,” Wambsganss said. “I believe the voters of Senate District 9 and Tarrant County Republicans will answer the call in November.”
Its a minor rumble until its multiple GOP upsets. Who is to say this guy really is a democrat?
There’s been many other dem upsets, but I believe this is the largest so far. Dems are out performing Kamala by around 15 points I think, which opens up quite a few up coming races if the trend continues.
What information did you learn about Rehmet that inspires you to you speculate that he isn’t?
I just look around at all the people around who call themselves democrat and vote with republicans. So far all I’m getting is crap from people asking why I’m asking and very little in the way of specific points against?
It’s not necessary to raise any points to counter a position that raised none of its own.
I didn’t make a claim. I asked a question. Because I want to know the answer to it and you are not answering it. You are attacking the question. Trying to transform it into a claim/lie.
Questions are not lies. They are a effort to seek the truth and get a answer.
Never mind answering. You don’t know or care you just hate people asking the question. I would ask Taylor Rehmet but he isn’t here. Whatever reason you dislike the question I know I wont get a truthful answer from you.
You betray your bullshit “question” when you complain that nobody has provided you any “specific points against” the question.
Against what? How can a point be for or against a question seeking an answer?
No I haven’t. I just asked a question that triggered a butthurt troll. Now I block you and the world is a better place.
