from Grep News

Taylor Rehmet won by fifteen percentage points despite being outspent ten-to-one, running on lowering costs and protecting jobs while his opponent ran the full culture war playbook with endorsements from Trump and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. They're both running again in November for the full four-year term, and Republicans are quietly losing their minds because if the math stops working in Texas, the entire map changes.
