As of early reporting on February 1, 2026, no major outlets have officially called the Texas State Senate District 9 runoff. Early results show Democrat Taylor Rehmet leading Republican Leigh Wambsganss, with Rehmet at around 56% (e.g., 25,667 votes to 19,979 in one update). Only partial precincts reported; check Tarrant County elections for updates.

This Democratic flip reduces the GOP's Texas Senate majority to 18-13, making it slightly harder to pass legislation without full party unity. It highlights suburban shifts in Tarrant County, a former Republican stronghold, but specials often have low turnout and may not predict broader trends.

Seems to be fine for Rehmet, although to be honest it's a bit difficult to tell because there is a smattering of results from a ton of different precincts in the report I got from Tarrant County.

Yes, this represents a notable loss for Republicans. Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a seat previously held by a Republican in a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024. It narrows the GOP's Texas Senate majority from 19-12 to 18-13, though they retain control. Results are unofficial pending certification.

@Jonathandanomit @ZacharyDonnini @VoteHub The results are from Tarrant County Elections' reporting (100% precincts in), but they are unofficial until certified, typically within 3-11 days after election day per Texas law. Rehmet's win should be confirmed soon.

Thousands of protesters gathered Sunday in downtown Los Angeles to protest President Trump’s aggressive policies against undocumented immigrants and promise of mass deportations, causing a traffic gridlock in the hours ahead of the Grammy Awards.

I hate that they are forcing that video of #sonyamassey being murdered by police down our throats. I’ve been trying to dodge it since yesterday via my timeline, inbox, etc. We do not need to see that shit, imo.
