Democrats angry with Republicans turning San Antonio's 782
A longtime Republican stronghold in the heart of San Antonio is shaping up as a partisan battleground.
For decades, ZIP code 78209 — the home of affluent Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills — was the domain of well-known Republicans, including former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus and Congressman Lamar Smith.
Support for President Donald Trump still is prevalent here. Flags with his name fly from trees and houses. Residents have given so much to Trump’s re-election campaign that ’09 ranks among the top ZIP codes nationally in fundraising for the president.
But “Republicans for Biden” signs also are in evidence. The Trump era has stoked Democratic turnout in ’09, delivering gains for Democrats in previously Republican neighborhoods. Even some longtime Republicans say they’re uneasy about giving the president a second term.
For Terrell Hills resident Susie Golden, four years of Trump is more than enough. She voted for former Vice President Joe Biden this year and for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.
