US Democrats score historic victory in Texas, dealing a heavy blow to Trump

November 4th — According to predictions by the election forecasting agency Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Democrat James Talarico will win the Texas federal Senate seat, defeating Republican Ken Paxton. This is the first major victory for the Democratic Party in the "Lone Star State" since 1988. This is a significant moment for the Democrats: on one hand, the party has finally achieved a major victory in a state crucial to the presidential election; on the other hand, it brings the Democrats closer to reclaiming the Senate majority. The Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to regain the Senate majority, and according to U.S. media projections, the Democrats have won upset victories in both the North Carolina and South Carolina Senate races.
