Episode Details

Texas Republicans face a tough challenge in the 2026 midterms to maintain their majority in the state House. With Democrats needing just 76 seats to flip control, both parties are gearing up for a grueling battle. The Republican State Leadership Committee has identified Texas as a top defensive battleground, with shifting voter trends in areas like San Antonio making things interesting. The GOP plans to hold the line with solid candidates and the right message, while Democrats are going all in to boost turnout. The 118th district in San Antonio, which went Republican in 2022 despite a Democratic Senate win by three points last year, is a key rematch to watch. Republicans are pouring resources into early voting and get-out-the-effort, with House Speaker Dustin Burrows committing full resources to competitive spots. The outcome of these midterms will serve as a real test of the Republicans strength in Texas.
