A new Republican member of Congress from Texas likely won his election thanks to support from Democrats, according to a report from The Texas Tribune.

Rep. Jake Ellzey, who defeated the Trump-backed candidate Susan Wright in a special election in Texas's 6th Congressional District on Tuesday, was sworn in by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday morning.

The special election was triggered after Ron Wright, a Republican who had held the Dallas-area seat since 2019, died of COVID-19 in February. His widow, Susan, soon entered the special election to succeed the late congressman, earning the backing of former President Donald Trump and the Club for Growth, a conservative group.

While several Democratic candidates entered the race, Wright and Ellzey came in first and second in a May 1 primary election. But Democrats apparently still found a way to influence the race.

1. Democrats apparently still found a way to influence the race.

Damn straight, he will be THEIR representative as well. They should have a big say in that.

2. So this was literally a general election. Therefore, Repukes have zero grounds to accuse

Democratic voters of somehow "rat-fucking" things.
