“Former President Donald Trump’s influence on the Republican Party will get its first official, post-presidential test Saturday, when 11 GOP candidates vie in an all-party special election to succeed the late Texas Rep. Ron Wright,” Politico reports.
“The contest, which also features 10 Democrats, one libertarian and one independent, will be held in a suburban Fort Worth district that wasn’t deeply enamored of Trump — he ran behind his statewide performance there in 2020, winning by just 3 percentage points. Due to the crowded nature of the field, it’s likely to end up in a runoff.”
