If you look at Texas SD-9’s demographics it should be like D+4 if its voters had the same partisanship as the national average. But Texans are pretty conservative, especially white and Hispanic Texans. That’s held up even in Dem wave years, maybe this is the beginning of the end of that.
Last night’s Democratic victory is primarily effect of extremely low Republican turnout, but it’s still pretty concerning they couldn’t break 20% of 2024 on a Saturday. My suspicion is they do far better and flip the seat in November.

Looking at the precinct results in TX's 9th Senate district election and the shift is a consistent ~40 points on margin vs 2022 in the outlying areas, matching the pattern of persuasion and Republican dropoff we've seen in special elections for the 2025-26 election cycle.

Good election news last night in #Texas. Can't wait to see final numbers but, wow, that looks like one hell of a #BlueWave for the Midterms.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

People are going to shit on anything Dems do. But depending on the details “end roving patrols” could be humongous. Based on earlier reporting that may mean Border Patrol can’t send agents all around the country. In Chicago & MN Border Patrol caused more mayhem & violence than ICE did. Numbers… /1
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

One thing that doesn't get articulated enough about reactionaries like Trump is that they are fundamentally parasitic. Yes, you can get ahead, temporarily, by acting without shame in a rule-bound system, because other people expect rule-bound behavior. You can "stun" the system into passivity.
