“针对特朗普的公投”：蓝潮席卷德克萨斯州，塔拉里科历史性拿下参议院席位
詹姆斯·塔拉里科的选民们庆祝他历史性击败德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿，他们告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这一令人震惊的结果应向全州的共和党人发出警告。

德克萨斯州奥斯汀讯——当民主党掀起的蓝潮开始冲击德克萨斯州时，理查德·托雷斯，一位一辈子都投民主党票的德克萨斯人，一直紧盯着周围记者屏幕上不断出炉的选举结果。
当得知州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科击败肯·帕克斯顿时，他坐下来消化这个结果。托雷斯曾是威廉姆森县民主党主席，塔拉里科在德克萨斯州朗罗德长大并就读高中时，他就担任这一职务。
他从未想到，德克萨斯州的共和党人会被汹涌而来的蓝潮彻底掀翻。

“我们已经看到一些变化，但没想到今晚会是这种结果，”托雷斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们今晚没料到会这样。”
当被问及为什么像孤星州这样的深度红色大本营会这么快变成蓝色时，托雷斯表示，这要归咎于顶层的唐纳德·特朗普总统，这一结果应当给全州的共和党候选人和官员发出一个信号。
“我认为这传递了一个信息，即他们走的路是错误的，而且已经错了有一段时间，但他们不愿承认我们在总统问题上存在的问题，”托雷斯说。“他们完全支持他。我不知道为什么。”
“但他们没有看到国内正在发生的问题，包括持续的战争等相关情况，”他继续说道。“而且他们似乎在所有这些问题上都支持他。这就是针对特朗普的公投。”
当前态势：蓝潮将民主党人推向权力中心，关键席位仍悬而未决

“来这里庆祝：”长期居住的德克萨斯人认为现在是民主党和塔拉里科的时机
塔拉里科和其他几位民主党候选人，包括当选州长吉娜·伊诺霍萨，打破了共和党对德克萨斯州的控制，对国会中的共和党人造成沉重打击，周二晚，共和党在参众两院的多数席位迅速缩水。
这位即将上任的议员并非勉强击败德克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿。他击败了得到特朗普支持的候选人，这位候选人并非华盛顿共和党人的首选，在这个2024年特朗普以近14个百分点赢得的州，塔拉里科以超过12个百分点、即超过100万张选票的优势胜出。
为了拿下这场胜利，塔拉里科需要争取德克萨斯州的共和党人和民主党人。其中一位共和党人詹姆斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他在此次选举前一直投票给共和党，今年改投民主党是第一次。

“我一辈子都是共和党人，但今年要投民主党，因为我认为我们需要这样做，”詹姆斯说。“我相信，共和党已经迷失了方向。”
虽然观派对上洋溢着乐观情绪，无论是动感的音乐还是六条以上移动酒吧前排着数十人的长队，但仍有一些选民心存谨慎的焦虑。
尤其是在2018年民主党曾如此接近拿下这个参议院席位，当时前州众议员贝托·奥罗克差点击败共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹。奥罗克最终以约两个百分点的差距落败，但孤星州民主党选民从未忘记从欣喜到心碎的落差。

随着选举结果陆续出炉，人群情绪高涨，另一位长期居住在德克萨斯州的选民贝弗利表示，周二晚的意义远超德克萨斯州本身。
“这感觉像是整个美国的机不可失的时刻，”她说。“我们要么扭转局势，要么就不如彻底放弃。”

‘We didn\’t expect this\’: Texas Democrats stunned as blue wave topples GOP stronghold
GOP defectors like James, a lifelong Republican, say the party \’lost their way\’ as Democrats ride blue wave to flip Texas

James Talarico voters celebrated his historic upset of Texas AG Ken Paxton, telling Fox News Digital the stunning result should send a warning to Republicans across the state.

AUSTIN, Texas — As the Democrats’ blue wave began to slam into Texas, Richard Torres, a Texan who has voted blue his entire life, kept peering at the results pouring in on reporters’ screens all around him.
And when it was announced Texas state Rep. James Talarico had toppled Ken Paxton, he sat down to take it in. Torres was the former chair of the Williamson County Democratic Party, where Talarico grew up and attended high school in Round Rock, Texas.
He never thought that Texas Republicans would be swept away by the oncoming blue wave.

“We started seeing some changes, but not what we expected tonight,” Torres told Fox News Digital. “We didn\’t expect this tonight.”
When asked why a deep-red stronghold like the Lone Star State had become so rapidly blue, Torres said that it started at the top with President Donald Trump and should serve as a message to GOP candidates and officials across the state.
“I think it sends a message that they\’re on the wrong track, and they\’ve been for a while, but they won\’t accept the problems we have with the president,” Torres said. “They\’re totally supporting him. I don\’t know why.”
“But they don\’t see the problems that we\’re having in this country with all the things that have happened with the war going on and things of this type,” he continued. “And they just seem to support him on it. This is a referendum against Trump.”
STATE OF PLAY: BLUE WAVE SWEEPS DEMOCRATS INTO POWER, WITH KEY RACES STILL HANGING IN BALANCE

Talarico and several other Democratic candidates, including Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa, shattered the GOP’s grip on Texas, serving Republicans in Congress a stiff blow as their majorities in both chambers rapidly evaporated Tuesday night.
And the incoming lawmaker didn’t just squeak by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. He beat the Trump-backed candidate, who was not the first choice of Republicans in Washington, by over 12 percentage points, or well over 1 million votes, in a state that Trump won in 2024 by nearly 14 points.
To secure that win, Talarico needed to capture Republicans and Democrats in Texas. One of those Republicans, James, told Fox News Digital that he had always voted for the GOP until this election.

“I\’ve been a Republican my whole life, but I\’m voting Democratic this year because I think we need to,” James said. “The Republicans have lost their way, I believe.”
While the optimism at the watch party was palpable, be it through the pumping music or over half a dozen mobile bars with lines dozens of people deep, there was still a cautious anxiety among some voters.
Particularly after Democrats had gotten so close to flipping the Senate seat before in 2018, when former Texas state Rep. Beto O’Rourke gave Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a run for his money. O’Rourke would end up losing by roughly two points, but the exuberance that turned to heartbreak wasn’t soon forgotten by the Lone Star State’s Democratic voters.

As results began to roll in and the crowd’s energy began to explode, Beverly, another longtime Texas resident and voter, said Tuesday night was bigger than Texas.
“This feels like a now or never moment in the entire United States,” she said. “We either turn things around or we might as well kiss it all goodbye.”
