One of Donald Trump’s biggest political tests on his potential road back to the White House came this week when a Texas election determined what type of influence the former President may still have on voters.
After one of the most hotly contested elections in Texas, a special runoff between Republican Jake Ellzey and Trump-backed Republican Susan Wright, political experts were stunned with the results late Tuesday. In the end, Ellzey pulled off the upset victory, leaving many to wonder if Trump’s influence is quickly fading with Republican voters.
Even without Trump’s endorsement, Ellzey was able to raise $1.2 million in campaign funds, which was nearly double what Wright was able to raise for her campaign.
