      He’s currently 14 points ahead. 57-43. At 31 point swing. This area hasn’t been blue since 1991.

      I can’t wait for those five Texas congressional seats to backfire on them.

      Trump tweeted this afternoon to endorse Rehmet’s opponent and urged Repubs to get out and vote. Epic fail from the loser.

      lol Trump tweeted his support for the opponent earlier today.

      They know the tide is turning

      Here comes the election fraud allegations. Or maybe they’ll just show up and take the ballots themselves

      >Taylor Rehmet, a union president and Air Force veteran, will defeat Trump-backed Leigh Wambsganss in a runoff for the Fort Worth-area 9th District, according to a CNN projection.
      …
      Democrats flipped more than 20 state legislative seats in special or regularly scheduled elections last year. Most recently, in December they won a Georgia district that Trump had carried by about 12 points.

      I will keep saying this over and over: change doesn’t start at the midterms, it starts at every state, county, judicial, sheriff, mayor, city council, and education board election that happens between *now* and the midterms. *Because we shouldn’t wait until the midterms*. *Every* seat Democrats win at any level makes rigging the midterms that much harder for Trump.

      Here goes all the illegal voters. It was rigged. Stolen. Its never going to end until Dildo Dump and the MAGA clut is out of office.

      I really thought Wambsganss was a made up last name in Succession, but what do ya know it’s real. Amazing.

      > Loretta Leigh Wambsganss (née Bowman) is an American conservative political activist who is the chief communications officer of Patriot Mobile and executive director of its affiliated political action committee, Patriot Mobile Action.

      Ahhh, so she’s in on the grift.

      >She is known for her advocacy supporting school board candidates who opposed diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and critical race theory in the Dallas–Fort Worth region as co-chair of Southlake Families PAC.

      And she’s a POS too.

      And that’s why we are running Talarico.

      Talarico is who they are afraid of, he needs to win the democratic primary.

      This is the Americans from one of the reddest areas in the country saying: we reject this fascist administration. Get the fuck out!

    19. Lost_Grand3468 on

      The catch: Rehmet’s victory allows him to serve only until early January, and he must win the November general election to keep the seat for a full four-year term. So he and Wambsganss will face off again in November 2026 as part of the actual midterms.
