The enthusiasm surrounding the Senate race in Texas could trickle down to congressional races, which may boost voter turnout in the Lone Star state and fuel momentum for both parties, political experts say. The Senate race in Texas has been grabbing headlines for weeks as Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke mounted a surprisingly strong campaign in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 1994. Political experts say that energy will fuel congressional races. For the first time in over two decades, Democrats are running in all of Texas’ 36 congressional districts. But Republicans also say that enthusiasm for the Senate race is trickling down to their party.
