Jake Ellzey, the Texas Republican, won a special congressional election against Susan Wright, the widow of late Rep. Ron Wright, who had the support of former President Trump.
"The Trump candidate goes down in TX special That’ll give folks something to chew on!" David Axelrod, the former senior adviser to President Obama, tweeted.
The Trump factor played out on the periphery during the contest. In
2016, he won the district by 12 points, and lost some ground to
candidate Joe Biden in 2020, after securing only a 3-point win there.
Political insiders say the race between Ellzey and Wright was a litmus
test for Trump in Texas and perhaps a gauge of his influence in
general.
