More Democrats and Republicans voted in the March 3 Texas primaries, and former Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says if the trend continues, Texas could turn blue in November’s general election.
After the Texas primary election results were announced, Greene, a disgruntled one-time MAGA supporter, shared her thoughts in an X post, stating in part,
Now that Trump and his admin betrayed their campaign promises of No More Foreign Wars/No More Regime Change and Republicans in the majority in the House and Senate are flat out refusing to pass key legislation, voter outrage was shown in yesterday’s Texas primary.”
She noted record numbers of Democrats turned out for the primaries. Texas news outlet KHOU reports Democratic voting increased 126% compared to 2024, equaling around 1.33 million Democrats versus about 1.1 million Republicans at the ballot box.
Greene added, “If that happens in November’s general election, Texas will be flipping [its] Senate seat blue. By the way, a Democrat has not won statewide in TX since 1994.”
She went on to MAGA “MIGA,” presumably meaning Make Israel Great Again, over Trump’s decision to strike Iran in a joint United States-Israeli operation. Greene said, “Whatever Trump’s new twisted perversion of MAGA is, [it’s] going to LOSE in the midterms.” She added, “Maybe they will wake up now and realize Armageddon is not what we voted for.”
Texas primary results could spell trouble for GOP
In the Democratic U.S. Texas Senate primary, James Talarico defeated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett for his party’s nomination, positioning himself as the Democratic standard-bearer for a Senate seat Republicans have held for decades. Democratic turnout in Webb County far outpaced GOP ballots, as it did statewide.
On the Republican side, the U.S. Senate contest did not produce a clear nominee. Incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton both fell short of a majority, sending the race to a runoff later this spring after a hard-fought contest. Republicans also saw surprises down-ballot, including incumbent GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s loss in a congressional primary.
Operational issues, including voter confusion in Dallas County, affected election day experiences across party lines, Votebeat reported.
In one of the primaries’ most closely-watched contests, Talarico said, “Tonight our campaign is shocking the nation.” He added, “Tonight, the people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope, and a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing,” per ABC News.
Greene’s comments echoed her November forecast. One noted, “Texas just sent a message louder than any pundit on cable news. More Democrats voted than Republicans in a deep red state. That’s not a polling error, that’s a base walking away. MAGA became MIGA and voters noticed. Midterms will be brutal if this doesn’t change fast.”
