coal mine moment for the democratic party. last night, there was a special congressional race in south texas. it saw a very deep blue sea turn bright red. now, republican mayra flores easily defeated her democratic opponent by eight points in district 34. now, get this, it s the first time in 150 years this district ever elected a republican! in 2012, obama won it by 23 points. 2016, yeah, hillary won it by 22 points. biden only won it by four, but now republican mayra flores, she won it by eight. all right, that would be a 12-point swing in two years, a 30-point swing if you go back to 2016. keep in mind, this is a majority hispanic district. it borders mexico to the south along the rio grande valley. now, mayra actually immigrated to the u.s. from mexico making her the very first mexican-born woman to be elected to congress. she s also married to a u.s. border patrol agent. she made border security a huge focus of her campaign. take a look. too many to many, the borders
sean: all right, also developing tonight, the twice-boosted dr. fauci has tested positive for covid we wish dr. fauci a speedy recovery. we never wish ill on anyone. we re sincere in that belief. i ve seen the worst of this. i wouldn t wish this on my worst enemy. but, remember, it was fauci himself who said, if you get that vaccine that eventually became mandated that joe said he wouldn t mandate you re not going to get coronavirus. you know, telling people with natural immunity they still gotta get the shot. now, the cdc is actually saying that people that are boostered have a greater likelihood of getting the current variant of covid, va-2, omicron 2. listen to fauci, though, in his own words. take a look. if you get vaccinated after you get infected, your level of protection will go sky high and then you won t have to worry about getting infected again. sean: also remember, it was biden who said in july of 2021

after once again testing positive for covid. hillary clinton also announcing she tested positive today. says she s feeling fine. of course, we consider a safe and speedy recovery. we also need to warp speed monoclonal antibodies. you might want to pay really close attention now on antivirals so every american that gets covid and cases have risen dramatically in europe, that means they are probably going to rise dramatically here. it s already happening in new york, and people can get therapeutics as quickly as possible. you said, joe, that you didn t see omicron coming on the heels of delta. let me give you a headline, omicron 2 is coming and you need to prepare. we have is a very different situation than we had to go years ago. fully vaccinated people, fully pack sated people with boosters, people who are fully vaccinated
