Trump Plays Dumb About His Endorsement In Texas Election
Donald Trump feigned ignorance to the media over a special election in a red Texas district, he publicized and endorsed after his candidate got shellacked.
Continuing the trend of Democrats beating Republicans, even in red districts, in elections leading up to the 2026 midterms, Democrat and machinist union leader Taylor Rehmet won in a stunning upset over conservative activist Leigh Wambsganss.
Here is Trump's Truth Social post offering huge support for Wambsganss.
Cut to Trump today, he sounded like a man confused and dumbfounded when asked about the loss in a district he had won by seventeen points in 2024.
"Somebody ran, where?" Trump asked as if he didn't know Sunday's date.
Trump knew all about yesterday's special election as made clear by his TS post.
REPORTER: In Texas. A special election for legislative seats. The ninth state Senate seat.
TRUMP: I'm not involved in that. That's a local Texas race. You mean, I won by 17 and this person lost.
Things like that happen.
REPORTER: Does it worry you about the majority? Well, you don't know whether or not it's transferable.
You know, I'm not on the ballot. I don't know.
