A former Republican leader in Texas is glad to see that an effort to get an anti-Trump candidate elected to Congress fell flat on its face this past weekend.
Republican Susan Wright of Texas, the widow of the first member of Congress to die after contracting COVID-19, advanced to a U.S. House runoff for her late husband's north Texas seat in an open primary Saturday. Her opponent could be another Republican, Jake Ellsey, who finished second -- 354 votes ahead of the top Democrat vote-getter in a race that is officially too close to call.
