They just called it.
We're done.
For the first time in almost 40 years,
Democrats just won a U.S. Senate seat in Texas,
and I just got to witness Republicans' reaction.
Did you ever expect that a Democrat
would win a U.S. Senate seat in Texas?
Hell no.
Not one bit.
I'm at Ken Paxton's election night watch party here
in Dallas, and Democrat James
Tallarico just did what a lot of people called impossible.
He won.
Republicans here are disappointed, obviously,
livid, skeptical, all of the above.
Whose fault is this?
I think it all goes back to President Trump.
He also supported Graham in South Carolina, and she lost.
So I think the president really needs to take a strong look.
At this point, it's too late.
Civil war.
Because that's where we are.
Because then the Democrats are going to run the House and the Senate.
They're going to do everything they possibly can to impeach everybody,
put in prison, that we couldn't do ourselves as Republicans.
Now tonight's result in Texas will have major implications
on the balance of power in Congress.
Democrats pulled off quite the blue wave tonight.
Now we're going to have to wait until
January to see what they do with it.
