He flipped a seat that voted Republican by 17 points in 2024
"Democratic candidates also have won special elections in Kentucky and Iowa."

Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins a reliably Republican Texas state Senate seat, stunning GOP
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. The Texas Legislature is not set to reconvene until 2027, and the GOP still will have a comfortable majority.

Democratic Upset in Deep Red Texas District Rattles Republicans
Mr. Rehmet, a machinist at a Lockheed Martin fighter jet plant in Fort Worth, said during the campaign that he did not like party labels & believed that voters were “really tired of the partisanship.” He made his support for public education, including vocational programs, central to his campaign.

Taylor Rehmet is not a socialist (or at least, does not call himself one), but he is a trade unionist. And he trounced Leigh Wambsganss, a Trump-endorsed and certified MAGA candidate, in a Texas state senate district in Tarrant county, a traditionally very Republican county. If Rehmet can do it in Tarrant county, then there is *ample* opportunity for fruitful struggle in Texas, even at the state level --- which has traditionally been the gatekeeper blocking and overturning whatever progress gets made locally.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet shocks in upset win for conservative Tarrant County Senate seat
Rehmet beat Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a GOP stronghold that drew notice from Democrats nationwide and prompted a late push from Trump.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who leads the GOP-dominated Senate in Austin, warned that Democrats would spend heavily in Texas on other contests if Rehmet pulled off the upset.

"And yet, as G. Elliott Morrisof Strength in Numbers noted, voters flipped a district that Trump won in 2024 by 17 points to Rehmet, electing him by a 14.4-point margin. After removing the minor-party candidates in the vote, the swing from the Republican in 2024 was 32 points toward the Democrats. In Texas."

"Robert Downen of Texas Monthly noted that in the final days of the campaign, the Wambsganss campaign spent $310,000 while Rehmet spent nothing, and Daniel Nichanian of BoltsMag posted that overall, Wambsganss spent nearly $2.2 million more than Rehmet in the campaign. Both Texas governor Greg Abbott and Trump himself publicly supported Wambsganss."

"Saturday night, we saw a tangible victory in this war against fascism. Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet shocked the political world by winning a special election for a Texas state Senate seat in a district that Trump had won by 17 points. And it wasn’t close with Rehmet grabbing 57% of the vote!"

"Democrat Taylor Rehmet, a machinist and union leader, defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss—and he didn’t just win. He won by a stunning 14 points.
That’s a 31-point swing from 2024.
This stunning victory in a deep-red Texas county is sending shockwaves through the political system.
This is a big effing deal."

"There was a special Texas state senate election (SD-9) last night to fill a vacancy in Tarrant County. That’s the third largest county in the state, the home of Ft. Worth and a longtime stronghold of GOP power. A Democrat has not represented SD-9 since 1991, and in the last election, Trump won the district by 17 points.
That run ended last night."

BOOM!
"Fort Worthin kaupungissa sijaitseva vaalipiiri on ollut republikaanien hallitsema vuosikymmeniä. Donald Trump voitti vaalipiirin vuoden 2024 presidentinvaaleissa 17 prosenttiyksiköllä.
Nyt demokraattiehdokas Taylor Rehmet on voittamassa republikaanisen vastaehdokkaansa Leigh Wamsganssin 14 prosenttiyksikön erolla, kun lähes kaikki äänet on laskettu."
