Democrat flips Texas state Senate seat in Fort Worth district, surprising GOP
TL;DR Summary
Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate special election in a Fort Worth–area district, flipping a seat that Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Backed by national groups including the DNC and VoteVets, the victory signals Democratic strength in certain GOP-leaning districts during special elections, though Rehmet will serve only until January and must win the November general election to secure a full four-year term as Republicans retain a comfortable Senate majority.
