At the special election in Texas on Saturday, Democrat Taylor Riemer flipped a state Senate district that had long been reliably Republican. This continued the momentum of a series of unexpected victories by Democrats across the country since Trump returned to the White House a year ago. In the 2024 presidential election, Trump had won this district by 17 percentage points. After the Republican candidate lost on Saturday, Trump quickly tried to distance himself, saying "I did not participate in this election, it was a local-level campaign in Texas." But just a day before the election, Trump had also posted praise for the Republican candidate and urged Texas voters to vote actively.
