We can now call that the GOP has flipped the mayorship of McAllen, TX. This is a somewhat surprising local result in this city of 140,000 that is almost 85% Hispanic.

I had a post on here earlier about Omaha. These are the tea leaves. I am cautiously waiting on the fall elections in Virginia to see what they hold.

ETA: the congressional elections in McAllen were much narrower in 2020 than they usually are too.

One usually is 40-70 points in favor of democrats but was only 30 points in 2020. The other is normally 15-30 points in favor and Dems only won it by 3 in 2020.

I used to live in the Rio Grande Valley, to say it is blue is an understatement. This is not good for the Democrats.

Is it true that only 9.5k people voted though?

It is white libs thinking all darker-skinned people can be handled the same - as they are the ones looking at skin color and calling out race.

It’s a very conservative Blue. Their US rep (Henry Cuellar) is probably the most conservative Dem in the house. Most of my customers down there are pretty conservative.

I was shocked to learn the current mayor of Miami is Republican today.

I know a lot of Mexicans that changed their tune on trump. They despise the Democrats more than this board does.

Democrats had to cheat for survival

Bet Trump got 80% of national vote vs that zombie Biden

No way democrats or cabal or RINO Deep State could allow this out

They’d have been ruined

Trump won bigly as did tons of Congress

If true elections ever happen then it will end democrat party

All Illegal Immigrants no matter where they came from should be sent back to their shithole countries. Texas is loaded with Illegal Immigrants.

The middle class, blue collar Hispanic in Texas is the next group of GOP stalwarts. The love their families, they go to church, they coach their kids teams, hunt and fish and own firearms, and they want their kids to have a better life. They serve in the military. And they damn sure don’t want any handouts.

This group is “woke” as you would say, to the BS of the Democrats.

We need to do more to target these people. They are who will keep Texas Red!

The last election proved that's not true. Probably the worst timing to start tooting this horn.
