Blue wave watch: Democrat flips Trump +17 Texas Senate seat in 32-point swing
Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet has won a special election for Texas State Senate District 9 in Tarrant County — a seat Donald Trump carried by 17 points in November 2024, per The Downballot. As I’m writing this, approximately 99% of the vote has been counted, and Rehmet carried the seat 57.2% vs his Republican challenger, Leigh Wambsganss, at 42.8%. That’s a 14.4-point margin, and a 31.4-point swing vs Harris’s margin in 2024 (if you ignore votes for minor-party candidates, the swing rounds up to D+32).

Odds surging for a Democrat sweep in 2028.
Maybe it would help if Republicans in Congress started actually cutting something. 🙌 https://t.co/VA3gDdzCXj

🚨 A massive amount of US debt is coming due:
$9.6 trillion of US marketable government debt will mature over the next 12 months, the most EVER.
This is DOUBLE the number seen before the 2020 Crisis.
This also accounts for 33% of ALL outstanding debt, one of the highest… pic.twitter.com/kfcTeb35TV
