Democrats remake Texas politics in election rout
Texas Democrats, shut out of every statewide office for more than three decades, have toppled Republicans from the top of the ballot to the bottom, remaking the political landscape of the nation’s largest conservative state in a single earth-shattering night.
While James Talarico’s victory in the US Senate race and Gina Hinojosa’s defeat of three-term Governor Greg Abbott stole the headlines, Democratic candidates also triumphed in a series of lower-profile races on Tuesday, giving them the power to reshape the state’s economic and political future.
The Democratic wins were fueled by record turnout — especially in Latino communities that have borne the brunt of President Donald Trump’s immigration sweeps — and cracks in the Republican coalition, as some conservatives and independents soured on inflation and the war with Iran.
Kremlin breaks silence on ‘hope’ after Trump’s midterms defeat
The Kremlin has commented on the humiliating midterms defeat dealt to Donald Trump’s party overnight. Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the results, and shared the Kremlin’s “hope” over Trump’s work on bringing the illegal war on Ukraine started by Moscow in 2022 to an end.
He said, as reported by Interfax: “President Trump continues to exercise his powers, and we sincerely hope that he will continue his peacekeeping efforts.”
The Republican party suffered a series of major defeats overnight, as Senate and Governorships, such as those in Kansas and Texas, were lost to the Democrats.
Netanyahu rivals seize on Democrats’ sweep of US Congress
Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rivals seized on Democrats’ capture of the US Congress as proof that he had squandered generations of bipartisan American support for Israel, as they seek a chance to form a government without him.
Democrats won majorities in both the Senate and House in Tuesday’s midterm election, in a scathing rebuke to President Donald Trump fuelled in part by deep frustration over the unpopular US-Israeli war on Iran.
The US vote took place just a week after an Israeli election, when Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition lost its parliamentary majority but performed well enough to deny his main opponent Gadi Eisenkot a clear path to unseat him.
