Rehmet won that seat even though he was outspent by a huge margin, and 1 out of 5 voters were Hispanics giving the middle finger based on current events. Interestingly, candidates in Texas can't exactly run by vilifying Hispanics so they're using the tired old culture wars and running against a different brown people: Muslims and sharia law. They've literally got nothing else to run on, and it's hysterical to watch them run their ads promising to protect Texans from Muslims and sharia law and the whole "your child will be forced to attend a library drag queen reading." So dumb. As for that TX-18 U.S. House seat, it was carved up in Trump's demand for five more seats. I cannot fathom why Dipshit Donald would need to demand Texas (or any state, for that matter) be gerrymandered even further in his favor if he honestly believes he is so dang popular nationwide. I mean, for a guy who keeps repeatedly claiming he's won states (that he actually hasn't even come close to winning), these exertions of his to rig the midterm elections is definite evidence that even he doesn't believe his own bullshit.
