I suspect, the 2026 mid terms could be an unprecedented bloodbath for the Republican party that has done nothing to reign in Trump and actions of the Trump administration.Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

Rehmet, a labor union leader and veteran, easily defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist, in the Fort Worth-area district. With almost all votes counted, Rehmet had a comfortable lead of more than 14 percentage points.
“This win goes to everyday working people,” Rehmet told supporters.
His victory added to Democrats’ record of overperforming in special elections so far this cycle. Democrats said it was further evidence that voters under the second Trump administration are motivated to reject GOP candidates and their policies.
This is a very reliable Republican District. Trump easily won there twice. Republicans have NOT done well in "Special Elections", for several years. Voter backlash over Trump's polices is growing. Rumors of Trump trying to stop the upcoming Mid-Term Elections would result in huge demonstrations across the country and that would all but spell the end of the MAGA/Republican Party.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet flips red Texas Senate district in major upset
The union leader bested his opponent in the special election, despite President Donald Trump’s last-ditch efforts to drum up support for the Republican candidate.www.ms.now
This is a major, major defeat for Trump! Trump posted aggressively on social media in support of his Republican candidate, without success. The Democrat candidate Taylor Rehmet beat Trump's candidate Leigh Wambsganss by winning 57% of the vote in a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024. Of course, this is Texas. Trump might want to demand recounts of the vote. Texas ain't the brightest bulb in the bag!
If this is any indication of what's going to happen in the November mid-terms, Trump is going to get slaughtered bigly!!!.
Whoopty shit. It was a special election to fill the seat for 11 months.![]()
