🚨Huge GOP victory in TX #HD28🚨

National Dems called it a “bellweather” and went all-in, spent $1M+

Props to @RSLC and the hundreds of @GOP volunteers who did 18,364 calls and 11,732 doors in final days.

2020 Dems like Biden, Warren, Bloomberg, Beto, Castro all got involved.

Biden even said: “This will set the tone for the entire general election in 2020.”

Beto O’Rourke called #HD28 “the single most important election taking place in the United States right now,” and a Dem win would “define...what is possible on a larger scale throughout Texas”

Wow.

According to @AP, "Beto O’Rourke practically made the district a second home after ending his own presidential campaign in November, spending weekends knocking on doors in Katy’s affluent neighborhoods."
