Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate district by 14 points after Trump carried it by 17 points in 2024. The state is a key battleground in the midterms.

Donald Trump is damaging so many aspects of the United States, domestically and globally but the thing he is damaging the most by a Grand Canyon wide margin is the Republican party.
The R party in Congress, by enabling and giving him positive reinforcement the past year is going to pay the ultimate price in November, 9 months from now.
It's hardly debatable now whether the Rs will lose their majority in the House. The real world discussion is about how much the new Democratic majority will be and its because of Donald Trump and his enables in Congress.
And whether Donald Trump will cause the Rs to lose enough seats in the Senate for that to go to the Ds also.
Thus far, there has been very little accountability for this unprecedented, egregious power grab that has featured ruinous decision after ruinous decision.
9 months to go for that. The less the accountability now, the greater the damage then from the voter outrage.
