Richards wouldn't have won if Clayton Williams hadn't made a rape joke in front of some reporters.
She was trailing by a significant amount until that incident.
She ended up winning by a couple of points but with less than 50% of the vote.

It probably helps Kamala that Trump and Vance have attitudes toward women that Clayton Williams had.
