Her flyers touted her Trump endorsement and continuing his America First agenda. Don't know if he is much better, but he was criticized by her backers in the primary as being a "Never Trumper." The lesser of two evils.

Don't know for sure if he is a "Never Trumper" but it was alleged that he took campaign contributions from them.

17. Hmmm

Well, I hope he is a never trumper. That would make this just a little sweeter.

So much for Wright's strategy.

26. Not sure he is an actual Never Trumper. He was accused of taking money from them and guilty by ...

association. Whatever he is, he is better than her.

Trump endorsed the defeated Susan Wright, mentioned her in his AZ speech last weekend while calling it a “very important race,” and held a television town hall for her last night, urging TX Republicans to vote for her.

12. Breaking the spell...

Perfect.

[TheFarseer]

13. Still a Republican

I can’t get too excited.

[keithbvadu2]

15. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

19. Just less

And that could count for something

[Demovictory9]

14. ha ha

[orangecrush]

16. This is good news.

[SergeStorms]

18. That's the only way that cult stops.

Defeat Trump's hand picked candidates, and show everyone Trump is totally unelectable, then they stop sending him money.

That's the only reason MF45 stops his egocentric grift. When the collective ignorant people of the country stop donating to the Orange Con Man, he goes away. For good, and his asshole children go with him.

Good riddance, asshole.

20. you posted the wrong district, it is TX-6, not TX-11 (and its a huge difference) Trump won TX-11

by 59 points both elections.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_11th_congressional_district





TX-6, the one Jake Ellzey just won, only went for Trump 51 - 48% in 2020.

28. Good spot

[monkeyman1]

22. everything toxic trump touches "DIE'S " !

[bluestarone]

24. So do they RECOUNT?

Wouldn't surprise me.

[denbot]

25. I love the smell of dumpster fire in the morning..

It does indeed smell of victory..

27. Pariah status awaits the Slobfather

Great news!
