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.”


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.
