Republicans in Texas faced a resounding defeat in the midterm elections, in part because they haven’t been talking about the issues that Americans care about, a Texas state representative told CNN Wednesday.
“The governor all the way down lost, and that’s what happens when you cannot run on issues,” Republican Texas State Rep. Dade Phelan said to CNN’s Erin Burnett.
CNN’s Kate Bolduan and Wolf Blitzer discuss the Texas election fallout with their panel of political analysts. Also, CNN’s Phil Mattingly runs through the Texas results at the magic wall and CNN’s Brianna Keilar reports from Fort Worth, Texas.

TEXAS IS BLUE! THAT'S RIGHT MO-FO'S, IT'S BLUE!
It's almost 260 now soon. If it gets up 260 we will only need 7 independent Republicans to be veto proof. So these clowns need to shut the hell up
1:20 Looks like your culture war fake nonsense is just that. Maybe leave marginalized people tf alone next time.
they lose that badly and they want someone more aligned with 🍊💩🤡 as the minority leader? did they not learn anything?
Karma is a bitch MAGA GOP.
Sessions is a bootlicker. Saying Dems don't believe in Constitution while his GOP party never follows it.
It's nuts that after this drubbing he's saying they need to make sure all the remaining Republicans are strictly aligned with Trump.
What Democrats WON'T control in Texas: Texas State Supreme Court, Texas State Senate, a lot of county and city officials. They did win all the Supreme Court seats that were up for election this year, including Chief Justice, but most weren't so they are short 1 seat. Dems did win control of the State Board of Education which decides on textbooks. That matters because Texas buys so many textbooks that it affects the industry and changes the choices smaller states have available to them. As a result I expect religious based inclusions and omissions from textbooks will stop in the next round of selections.
18:27 holding criminals accountable is not “retribution”. It’s governing. And the American people very much want this new Democratic Congress to stop trump’s corruption.
Why do Republicans keep lying? No Democratic candidate wanted to eliminate the Senata. No Democratic candidate wants to outlaw private property.
The GOP is a post-truth party. Lying is as easy as breathing.
Of Trump would want Jordan as the House speaker rather than Hakeem Jeffries cause he know Hakeem will be at his neck and going to allow Prosecutor Jack Smith to finish his investigation and will get at him but Trump Don’t have a say who becomes House speaker not only that Trump choose a cabinet after his election win and none of his chosen is still there he’s not credible
Forget sending emails trying kiss ass And why is we seeing cnn talking about it’s not about left v right and it was definitely about that when they was in control
We won all around the board and Hakeem will not work with yall he’s focus on the American people
It’s crazy how this dude can say democrat want to change the constitution when trump violated some if not all peoples constitution right than you say when yall wage war on the democratic people but now you want to work with them go play with yourself not us we didn’t forget that government shut down out of hatred towards the democratic people forget working with us
Now we gotta go clean up after they done fu everything
You took the thought right out of my head we don’t want work with them when yall was in office yall didn’t want hear nothing democrats had to say now you want to work together get your things and go sit over there
Yes, Trump made a big mistake saying that
Wow. Msm lying again,4 or 5 counties won majority. While 74% still voted red…
A dem won a seat after she was pulled from race for several felonies where found. BUT SHE STILL WINS ???? RIGGED ELECTION AT ITS FINEST. 38 years of voting red and someone got the magic wand out. 😂😂😂😂
How many people moved from Calif. To Texas ?
The older republican gentlemen, who is now saying that The left and Wright have to work together for the American people, that guy can kiss my ass! They turned down everything the left put out there to try to help the citizen of this country, literally everything! They have stonewall, sued, arrested, deported and broken constitutional law, so they don’t have to pass any laws or do anything for the American people, and now this old fool wants to work together for the American people? Now he cares about the American people? Kiss my ass.
Texas ha ha
The people is awaken. And more better changes for the good of this beautiful country will happen. The earth and the universe are making those changes in the conscious of the people. The Sabo Kids made a lot for Texas. Celestial father stay with us, thank you for giving all of us wisdom, protection, and discerning to apply your divine justice to the few who controls all to get all for them and protect the millions of us with your divine laws because we are the ones who work hard and all is expensive.❤❤❤❤
I've been a Republican my entire life. But…when I see a Democrat politician that I align with they do get my vote. I want to be clear there are Republicans that do not support the Trump administration. I most certainly do not support this cult. We need to quit fighting with each other and tearing each other down. We're all Americans. God bless everyone!!
Pete Sessions is the one trying to destroy the constitution.
I’m a lifelong Texan and am embarrassed by my state voting for democrats
Your best pitch is the Dems are going to trans your kids if they hold power. They actually thought that had a chance of working? LMAO
Erin Burnett blinking eyes around 80 to100 times per minutes.. can somebody tell me something..
Republicans will do anything to keep from going forward. They will block everything.
Had President Biden taken a tougher stance against Russia from the start, the war in Ukraine would have ended long ago, and the current conflict involving Iran would not have broken out. Russia and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have brought disaster upon the world. Furthermore, the issue of the "CCP virus"—which claimed so many lives—has simply been left unaddressed.
Hope maxxing
We getting yawl dumbass policies out of here.
That Congressman Sessions, is lying about Democrats are talking about changing the Constitution. Yet he was silent when worthless Ted Cruz spoke of Texas succeeding from the Unionin 2024. Hypocrite..
It's a known fact ,'you can fool some of the people, some of the times. You can even fool all of the people some of the time.BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME.
Stop with the hyperbole and self congratulation… republicans aren’t going anywhere and theses voters are only lending you their vote
1/. Constitution: Our government creates our national currency in our name to pay for our General Welfare.
2/. Trump seized parts of intel and other corporations. Lol.
3/. Our Constitution n does not say that the President is above the law. Our corrupt Supreme Court just pulled that one out of its ass.
Texas has been freed.
This is if for Donald Trump he done enough damage. A Republican is done a lot of damage to America.
I do not know how they thought they would keep treating people the way they were treating them ignoring them and everything else and they will win. What the hell is wrong with these people? They own drugs or something.
We the people did our Jobs because Republicans don't do their jobs thank you God now let's work together for a better life for our kids and grandkids future
R congressman is talking about many Dems don't like the Constitution and want to change it. Look at Drumpf, you hypocrite. . Now you're talking about working together., when Orange Jesus and Nosferatu wanted to ride roughshod over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as aithoritar6.. Talarico is an exceptional man that I've been supporting since he was a dark horse
A total wipe out of all Republican candidates in Texas this midterms.
Only Trump can turn Texas blue 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Listen to Sessions' BS: "Democrats don't believe in the Constitution."… 🙄 The willful ignorance is beyond insulting. Once again, Republicans proving decent people do not become Republicans.
This what happens when you go full cult mode…
Now that they lost they want to work together when before they did not
There's Republicans that voted Democrat, then some didn't vote at all. I've been told face to face.
