‘A win the size of Texas’: Democrats celebrate shrinking Republican dominance in a big state
A Guardian article reports Democrats' historic 2026 Texas wins: James Talarico, the Senate's youngest member, defeated Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton, while Gina Hinojosa unseated governor Greg Abbott, delivering the party's first statewide wins in Texas since 1994 and helping retake the US Senate. Talarico called it 'a win the size of Texas', supporters saw a rejection of Maga politics, and Ron DeSantis conceded in a tweet that the sweep is 'a huge loss' for the GOP.
