I’m actually gonna flip this question a bit, Nathaniel. What stood out to me was the opposite effect in some Texas races (i.e., we expected close calls or toss-ups but one party exceeded expectations). That was definitely the case in the state’s 34th District, where Democrat Vicente Gonzalez beat Republican Mayra Flores by about 9 points, according to ABC News. Of course, this district leans pretty heavily toward Democrats, but I wonder whether this race says anything about Latino voters broadly (or if this is just a super-blue district where Republicans were always going to have an uphill battle).
