Democrat wins special election for red Texas Senate seat Open in Texastribune.org
Highlights
  • Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a long-held Republican seat in Texas' 9th Senate District in a Jan. 31 runoff election.
  • In an interview with CBS News' "The Takeout" on Monday, Rehmet said his campaign made inroads by "going and showing up, knocking doors, making phone calls and really listening."
  • And I think the risk you run is if the Trump administration and Republicans nationally go too far, the distance between moderate Republicans and Democratic candidates becomes greater than the distance between moderate Republicans and Democratic candidates.
