Democrat flips a red Texas Senate district in Fort Worth-area upset

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate special election, flipping a Fort Worth–area district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss as results firmed, in a seat open after incumbent Kelly Hancock’s resignation. The victory adds to Democrats’ strong showing in recent specials and is viewed as a caution for Republicans under Trump-era politics. Rehmet will serve the remainder of the term and must win in November to secure a full four-year term, with the GOP still holding a comfortable Senate majority.
