Big Bad John lost Harris County by single digits.
In all seriousness, Texas Republicans really exceeded expectations tonight. They held the State House. Sarah Davis unfortunately appears lost in her very blue Houston seat, but at least it was by a respectable 4-point margin, and I would think she ran far ahead of Trump.
Crenshaw and Williams won by 14, Taylor by 12, Carter and Wright by 9, McCaul, Roy and Nehls by 7, Wesley got within 3, Van Duyne is leading, and Tony Gonzales won after all the forecasters wrote him off (Dammit Will, why'd you have to retire? You would have held it!!!). I guess the Austin gerrymander held up after all, although they should still probably concede a vote sink. Did anyone expect this?
Yeah really good and I think the GOP can get away with
10-29
1 El paso
1 Rio Grande
3 Harris
3 Dallas
1 Austin
1 San Antonio
Crack the rest of the Rio Grande valley to elect Hispanic Republicans.
