The Republican Party is hoping to flip a relatively safe South Texas seat from the Democrats on Tuesday in a state where the political divide over gun control in the United States has been highlighted in the wake of the Uvalde mass school shooting.
Texas' 34th Congressional District is currently vacant due to the resignation of Democratic Congressman Filemon Vela, with Tuesday's special election being held to determine who will take over the seat for the remainder of the term.
Currently, the leading candidate is Mayra Flores, who is massively outspending her nearest rivals and has the endorsement of Texas Governor Gregg Abbott.
An RH Elections/Poll Project USA poll released on the eve of the vote found that Flores is the favorite to win Tuesday's election, leading her nearest Democrat challenger, former Cameron County Commissioner Dan Sanchez, by 43 percent to 34 percent, with 13 percent still undecided.

We are on the right side of these issues folks!
More evidence of growing Republican voting among Hispanics
This story is so-o-o-o-o contrary to The Narrative. /snicker
I hope she’s successful.
If only Uncle Mitch would buy a clue. Oh wait. He is already bought.
She’s attractive too. I am so sexist
It should,be very easy to flip,the seat. Al. The right has to do is ask
“do you folks want your kids to remain unprotected and totslly vulnersble to madmen aith guns at schools because the left refuse to harden the schools and hire armed guards? Then vote Democrat. If you are sick and tjred of these shootings, and you want your kids to be safe with policies that actuslly address the problem instead of targeting law abiding gun owners because the left want to throw the second amendment out the window, then there is no other choice, vote republican. Liberal policies are killing our kids, right frommthe womb, all the way up to highschool. Stop the carnage voting republican”
Good.
You make a comment like that then you must follow DA RULZ!
What does Uvalde have to do with it?
“ She’s attractive too. I am so sexist”
Pretty much all conservative women are.
The thing that sucks is the only reason democrats are losing big time is because they’re so radical. People aren’t voting on the constitutional principals we stand for, they’re just voting against radicals. Will there be a point when the “masses” understand this?
Do they teach nothing in journalism schools? The election “Tuesday”, which Tuesday? Today? Next week? Two weeks?
Was on Steve Bannon War Room Pandemic yesterday.
We can only hope and pray.
she has my vote

Actually it’s today AND possibly in 2 weeks (or some other date). Unless Flores gets to 50% today she hasn’t won yet and the seat is not “flipping” today; there will be a runoff between her and Sanchez later and Flores should be favored to win but Democrats still count the votes in those counties so keep a wary eye on that.
You were?
“. . . in a state where the political divide over gun control in the United States has been highlighted in the wake of the Uvalde mass school shooting.”
Really? Texas is now a divided state when it comes to the 2nd Amendment? I must have been in a different state last week.
