Trump's Truth Social Surge: 7 Posts in 3 Minutes Following Texas Democratic Win
February 2, 2026
Trump launched a rapid Truth Social posting spree, publishing seven posts in three minutes after a Democratic candidate won Texas’s deep-red 9th State Senate District by a wide margin.
He shared a 1989 letter from George M. Steinbrenner III praising him and floated an 'Arc de Trump' rendering, while also posting endorsements in New Hampshire and Indiana races.
In the wake of the loss, Trump minimized the Texas result, saying he hadn’t heard about it and framing it as a local race, despite previous posts about it.
Democrat Taylor Rehmet’s victory over MAGA activist Leigh Wambsganss marked the first Democratic win in decades in that district, with a 57% to 43% margin.
Trump reposted several recent endorsements, highlighted items on Truth Social, and shared a screenshot of a positive Dec. 3 post about him from Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar.
