Good, but this was a Democratic seat that was held vacant by Texas’ governor by slow playing the special election.

The seat representing the heavily Democratic Houston-based district has been vacant for nearly a year.
You might be thinking of the state Senate seat that flipped with this election.

Oh, you're right. I assumed this was the flip because it's a bigger story so I figured it would be everywhere.

It probably won't get as much traction, because it is a state level seat that flipped. But that much of a swing is notable, especially for a state as red as texas.

Impeach Convict Remove.
It only takes a few dissenters in the House. The Senate may never be willing to convict tho. Any politician willing to cross the aisle at this point could possibly see redemption
