Former President Donald Trump claimed victory after his endorsement of a leading GOP candidate shut out Democrats from a congressional special election in Texas.
Republicans Susan Wright, the wife of the late Rep. Ron Wright, finished with 19 percent of the vote, while Jake Ellzey garnered 14 percent. Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez finished third with 13 percent and conceded on May 2.
“Please explain to the Democrats and RINOs that the reason Texas-06 completely shut out Democrats in Saturday’s Jungle Primary is because of my Endorsement of Susan Wright, who surged last week after receiving it,” the former president said in a statement on Monday. “RINO,” or “Republican in name only,” is a term used against Republicans who seemingly embrace progressive or Democratic politics.
Trump continued, “The Democrats were shut out and now it will be a contest between two Republicans, a very big win. It would be nice, however, if the pundits and Fake News Media would state the real reason for this unprecedented (Democrats have never been shut out before) victory!”
Wright is the wife of a deceased Rep. Ron Wright (R-Texas), who died earlier this year after a long battle with cancer.
Trump won the 6th Congressional district in 2020 by 3 percentage points.
“Democrats have a come a long way toward competing in Texas, but we still have a way to go,” Sanchez said in a statement over the weekend. “Unfortunately … we came up short, and two Republicans will be competing to represent this congressional district.”
A runoff between the top two vote-getters is required since no candidate received a majority in the first round. A runoff date has not yet been set. The election was the first test of the Texas electorate since President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory...

And the candidate favored by Moron Bush and that congressthing from Illinois (Kinsinger??) came in Ninth with three percent of the vote.
Music to my ears!
[came in Ninth with three percent of the vote.]
Excellent.
Not sure which Bush you mean, though
Why the hell do all the red states have run off? Seems idiotic to me. We’d have majority senate had Georgia not been stupid.
I think turning out to vote led to shutting the democrats out. we’ve learned our lesson in GA; boycotting elections leads to democrats in office.
Stick it in deep and then twist it!
We’d have a GOP President and GOP Senate if the GOP RINOs - who thought we were all better off if Trump lost - weren’t so bloody styuuuupid. Our cute RINOs are the very definition of losers.
The Bush family color - Maroon.
Yes, when referring to "moron Bush" one must be more specific in order to avoid confusion.
lol

Yes, exactly!
“I think turning out to vote led to shutting the democrats out. we’ve learned our lesson in GA; boycotting elections leads to democrats in office.”
How DARE you say that!!! We boycott elections to ‘teach those GOP turncoats a lesson’, and if it means handing the country to the Democrats to destroy everything we know, that’s just fine by us, as NOTHING, I say NOTHING!, could be worse than allowing Republicans who don’t totally support everything that we want to remain in office. Absolutely nothing!
“And the candidate favored by Moron Bush and ... ?
Which Bush? They’re all morons.
Yay. The GOPee schmuck won. He’ll fix everything. He says he will . You can trust him. Yessirree. Just like him and his GOPee buddies stopped The Big Steal when the crisis was upon us last November. And they even made sure to protect and defend the Constitutional rights of every GOPee perpetual sucker by voting for The Big Steal on January 6th, damn near every effing one of them, from top to bottom, inside and out, all up and down the line. But,hey, they got it under control this time. Just forget that the quisling traitors in the G.OPee haven’t stopped the ongoing collapse of this country for the past fifty years. In fact, they’ve aided and abetted the downfall as active collaborators with their Marxocrat colleagues, time and time again. But this time will be different. You can bet on that. They’ll finally stop pulling a Lucy and let their Charlie Brown suckers kick that football. Lez Cheney and Mutt Romney said so. You can believe them. You can take that to the bank.
You people who rag on and on about how we all need to continue to vote for the quisling traitors, shills, crooks, and scumbags in your beloved GOPee are not just misguided and wrong, but mentally sick. GOPee Delenda Est!
