“If (Taylor Rehmet) were to lose by six points, that’d be worth talking about,” one political expert told me ahead of last night's race. “And if Rehmet were to win? You’d say, ‘Holy shit.’” Rehmet won by 14 points.

Wow, buckle up. The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat. This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset. This is already 45K votes.
