Donald Trump was dealt a staggering blow after his endorsed candidate for Texas state senate lost to a Democrat in the heart of MAGA country.
First-time candidate Taylor Rehmet, 33, defeated his GOP opponent in a special election in a district Donald Trump carried by more than 17 points in 2024. The union leader reportedly beat MAGA activist Leigh Wambsganss 57–43, becoming the first Democrat to hold the seat in decades on Saturday.
Wambsganss had been fiercely backed by the now-silent Trump as well as top Republican players—who feared an upset in the ruby-red district would signal trouble for the party ahead of this year’s midterms and encourage more Democrats to target Texas, a MAGA stronghold.
