Democrats Are Winning Special Elections Like It’s 2018
- In 2024, the U.S. Senate race in Texas was called for Republican Ted Cruz on November 5th, despite a drop in Democratic Party turnout in counties like Dallas and Harris.
- Democrats in Texas are recrafting their strategies after disappointing losses in the 2024 elections, where Republicans bolstered their control and Democrats lost legislative and state appellate court races.

- Despite the setbacks, some Democrats remain optimistic, pointing to historical trends and President Trump's actions reminding people of the chaos of his first presidency, even as Texas Republicans doubt Democrats' ability to change their message and reach working-class voters.
