Latino Surge Pushes Democrat to Upset in North Texas Senate Race
TL;DR Summary
Democrat Taylor Rehmet upset MAGA-aligned Leigh Wambsganss in a January North Texas Senate special election, flipping a district Trump carried by 17 points thanks to a strong Latino turnout, working-class outreach, and a disciplined door-to-door campaign supported by local organizers and outside groups; the seat will be up again in November for a full four-year term, and analysts caution that this single result doesn’t necessarily indicate a broader Texas shift given low turnout and district-specific dynamics.
