Does Democratic win spell trouble for Tarrant County's GOP?
Tarrant County Republicans may have a rough season heading toward the Nov. 3 midterm elections, political analysts and party officials said after the GOP suffered a high-profile loss in the Texas Senate District 9 runoff.
Democratic Party leaders say state Sen.-elect Taylor Rehmet’s 13-point win will bolster momentum heading into midterm elections, but GOP organizers say it’s too soon to say that Leigh Wambsganss’ loss is a sign of trouble ahead.
“We’re seeing anything is possible,” said Allison Campolo, chair of the Tarrant County Democratic Party, adding that Rehmet’s win is “one of the biggest swings” since Trump got reelected.
The Jan. 31 Texas Senate runoff drew national attention, with both parties looking for a prophetic sign of which way the country could swing as state and federal representatives campaign ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
