That is recount territory as I'm hearing it was just around a 400 vote difference but with Abbot supporting the incumbent and Trump not being involved at all, doubt it'll change.
The good news to take from this is NOT to get blackpilled as has been shouted by the media cronies, a 'far right gun YouTuber' with little political experience and has video like this managed to SERIOUSLY challenge an establishment crony.
What he and his uniparty allies will “learn” is that they need to do a better job of fortifying the next election.
Make them require so much fortification that they die in the seige.
That'll be important going forward. The establishment had to bring out all the big guns against Herrera - outspent him 10:1, got AIPAC directly involved, pulled Mike Johnson & Greg Abbott both onto Gonzales' side, etc. - and the best they could get was this razor-thin result, not even 500 votes between their man and the populist challenger. Definitely doesn't project strength and confidence on the part of said establishment, and I don't think such investments are sustainable if they have to do it for 100+ more races across more states than just Texas.
