It looks like the Republicans are conceding Texas's #SD09 to the Democrats.
They're conceding a Trump+17 district in an area of Fort Worth that's been favorable to Republicans for decades, just a massive massive loss for them.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.
