A Republican managed to flip a Democratic-held Texas state House seat Tuesday in a district that President Joe Biden won in November by 14 points.
While most of the attention nationally was on Republican victories across Virginia and a surprisingly close race in New Jersey, one Texas special election could be a sign that Democrats are in trouble nationwide.
Republican John Lujan defeated Democrat Frank Ramirez 51 percent to 49 percent on Tuesday to take the Texas House District 118 race, The Texas Tribune reported.
That seat was previously held by Democrat Leo Pacheco, who resigned to take a teaching position at San Antonio College.
The victory is sure to have resounding effects far away for Democrats, as District 118, the southern portion of San Antonio, was won by Biden in 2020 by 14 points.
Lujan, who previously held the seat, claimed victory in a statement.
“I’m a blessed man to win this for the second time, and to be the only Republican ever to win this seat, I think, is really important for us down here,” he told the Tribune. He also labeled the win as one for “conservatism” among Hispanics.
Ramirez conceded the race in a statement to the Tribune.
“We didn’t make it over the line tonight … But we gave Texas Republicans a run for their money at every single step,” the Democrat said.
John Lujan, a Republican and a retired firefighter, won a seat in the Texas House of Representatives on Tuesday, further eroding a Latino electorate that until recently favored Democrats. https://t.co/OJTPVE2F1j

Texas Ping.
Ping.
Expect MASSIVE illegal immigration. The democrats will not let this stand. I read Biden is already encouraging open borders for Mexico’s Southern border and working with “NGOs” to encourage more immigration from Central America. If conservatives want to keep the country they have to start breeding.
Dominion’s gonna have to up their game if it expects to win in ‘24.
“If conservatives want to keep the country they have to start breeding.”
Thankfully I think conservatives seem to be having more children. Unfortunately liberals tend to kill theirs before they are born. Sorry I can’t do any more - we had 7 (though a couple are trending liberal, we’ll give them some time to understand the real world). 13 grandchildren so far with 3 still pre-production.
Biden didn’t win any districts.
Dominion decided which districts to give to Biden, and by how much.
The stupidity is so well indoctrinated. We know the numbers from the 2020 election are completely bogus, yet the numpties and muppets always refer back to those numbers as if they’re real.
Same with idiot statisticians. The numbers are garbage which the stats are made from, but the stats are real and meaningful?
We see this in the “covid” discussion and “news” constantly too. The PCR test is emergency recalled because it can not differentiate between cold, flu and whatever else viruses and “covid 19”. But go ahead and use that test until December... because. - CDC.
So all the infection rates and all else associated with “covid-19” are bogus. Yet, the numbers and the stats made from them are golden.
Idiots.
