Election Bombshell: Democrat Wins ‘Deep Red’ District in Texas

Another political bombshell yesterday. What Trump is doing to the GOP is historic. He is tanking them like he did his businesses:

Yesterday’s vote is not isolated. Voters are turning against GOP/Trump:

• “In 2025, Democrats Flipped 21 Percent of GOP-Held Legislative Seats”

December 2025 The Hill Article:

Democrats on Tuesday flipped the Miami mayor’s office and a state House seat in a district in Georgia that President Trump won by double digits. They also retained control of the Albuquerque, N.M., mayoralty and overperformed in several other state legislative districts.

Those wins came hot on the heels of a Tennessee special election earlier this month when Democrats overperformed and November elections that saw them beat expectations in New Jersey and Virginia.

But it’s first and foremost about the economy. Trumponomics is a failure:

Trump antics has predictably cost them elections in Minnesota:
