Trump's impact on the line in Texas special election

Ellzey stated that we are very similar on the Mark Davis radio show, which is based in Dallas, in May. I believe the voters realized, regardless of mailers that may not be true, that we were very similar, so to speak philosophically, and they supported it.Special elections will be held for several weeks in Texas, highlighting the dynamic between both political parties. The Texas campaign and the one outside of Columbus, Ohio have shown how powerful Trump's support remains for Republican candidates. However, a primary in Cleveland offers progressives the chance to win a significant primary win. Nina Turner, former Bernie Sanders campaign chair, faces off against Shontel Brown, a moderate candidate.Ellzey was very proud of his Navy fighter pilot experience, something that supporters such as Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R.Texas), have also highlighted. Wright has taken advantage of her connections with Trump and other high-ranking GOP leaders in the state. Wright's endorsements page features the former president at the top of her list.Wright has supported Trump while Ellzey has received some support from Democrats. Stephen Daniel, the Democratic nominee in 2020 for the seat, tweeted that he would vote to elect Ellzey but he did not endorse him.Liberal voters could play an important role in a district that saw a rise in both racial diversity as well as Democratic vote share between 2016 and 2020. However, it is unclear how many Democrats will be turning out to support a race where there is no Democrat on the ballot.Wright was 19 percent of the vote when he entered the Texas 6th District runoff. Although Ellzey matched her in early voting, he finished with just 14 percent support. This barely beat Jana Lynne Sanchez (Democrat) by more than 300 votes. Sanchez admitted that he had told POLITICO one month prior that an all-Republican vote in a winnable area was a bad sign for her party.Wrights campaign has criticised Ellzey's Democratic endorsements, including Daniels' tweet. Ellzey quickly dismissed the criticism. The Club for Growth is a conservative anti-tax group that aligns with Trump has spent more than $200,000 on advertising against Ellzey. It questions Ellzey's voting record while he was in the state House, and highlights moments when he went against other Texas conservatives.Republicans need a conservative who will actually show-up, and not a serial opportunist with an history of missing votes or supporting higher taxes, Club for Growth President David McIntosh stated in a statement.Ellzey sought to distance himself from Democrats and highlighted Trump supporters in his own ads. Anti-Ellzey mailers have linked him to Democrats, calling him a puppet. They also highlighted Trump voters who support his campaign in their own ads.Perry condemned the attacks on Ellzey's choice of mailers during a rally for Ellzey held in Arlington, Texas, July 16.Nothing is more irritating to me than junk in mailboxes about [Ellzey], but if you don't want to win such a terrible election, Perry said.Wright was also subject to attacks prior to the May 1st election. After her supporters claimed they received robocalls alleging Wright had killed her husband, Wright said she would seek out help from the FBI and Justice Department.Wright stated in a statement that this is illegal, moral, and wrong. Some politicians will not plumb the sewers too deep.Despite the partisan attacks between Wright, Ellzey, and other Republicans in this district, the national party is content not to have to make investments in the area. It can use resources to fund other races and the midterm election instead, with the race now down to just two Republicans.In May, NRCC Chair Tom Emmer stated to POLITICO that the Democratic socialist agenda had opened our borders and destroyed thousands of jobs in energy. He also said that it wanted to raise taxes by trillions of money for middle-class people. This eliminated any chance they would be competitive in the district. "I look forward welcoming a new Republican colleague into Congress.
