[Rhiannon12866]

A massive win for a Trump-backed Senate candidate in Texas may be a momentary victory for MAGA - but it could scramble the GOP's hopes of holding onto the Senate in November's midterms. Ali Velshi, Abby Livingston, and Larry Sabato join Stephanie Ruhle on The 11th Hour. - Aired on 05/26/2026.

1. Republicans voted for shithole twice.................

whose a convicted rapist with also 34 counts of corruptions and criminality. Seems like they don't mind ungodly politicians that claim they are evangelists Christians.

Think about that.

2. By the numbers:

There are a total of 17,578,640 registered voters in Texas: 6,617,030 are registered as Republicans (37.64%), 8,182,838 as Democrats (46.55%), and 2,778,772 as Independents and others (15.81%).

In the Republican Senate primary run-off Paxton received 586,953 votes (63.5%), Cornyn got 337,476 (36.5%), for a total of 924,429 votes.

Only 13.9% of registered Republicans in Texas voted in the Senate primary .run-off.

Note: Texas does not have a closed primary system. On primary election day, voters choose which party's ballot they want, they don't need to be registered with that party. In Texas this choice is made privately at the polling place. Any registered voter can vote in any party's primary, regardless of their own party affiliation or registration status. Texas does not have registration by political party. A voter becomes a Republican by voting in the Republican primary or Republican primary run-off, the same for Democrats.

3. Trumps big win for Paxton is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Democratic primary turnout beat repub turnout by 686,076 votes.
Enjoy your hollow victory dipshits!

4. I guess I'm the ONLY person in the good ole USA who thinks trump's hackers still

have control of the texas voting machines/tabulators. That whole election was absolutely bizarre. I'm not doubting that Paxton might win by a little, but nowhere near what the final totals were. I'm still worried about November and this cheating asshole and his operatives.
