Democrats notched another victory Saturday in special elections during President Donald Trump’s second term, flipping a seat in the Texas Senate in a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024.
Taylor Rehmet, a union president and Air Force veteran, defeated Trump-backed Leigh Wambsganss in a runoff for the Fort Worth-area 9th District.
With nearly all of the vote counted as of Sunday morning, Rehmet holds a 14-point lead over Wambsganss, a roughly 31-point swing toward the Democrats when compared with the 2024 presidential results there and one of the party’s strongest recent special election performances.
