Nå har Republikanerne et flertall på kun fire.\n\nValget ble holdt lørdag. Kongressplassen har stått tom siden Sylvester Turner, en tidligere ordfører i Houston, døde i mars 2025.\n\nI den avgjørende valgrunden kjempet Menefee mot Amanda Edwards, også hun demokrat. De to gikk videre fra første valgomgang i november, der kandidater fra alle partier stilte. Det måtte en ny runde til fordi ingen av de 16 kandidatene fikk over 50 prosent av stemmene.\n\nDet 18. valgdistriktet i Texas var regnet som et sikkert mandat for Demokratene.\n\nI talen på valgvaken lovet Menefee å kjempe for universell helseforsikring, arbeide for å stille sikkerhetsminister Kristi Noem for riksrett på grunn av Ice\\-aksjonene og å «rive opp Ice med røttene».\n\n## Direkte til Trump\n\nMenefee henvendte seg også direkte til president Donald Trump etter å ha påpekt at en av distriktets mest kjente representanter, demokraten Barbara Jordan, arbeidet for riksrett mot president Richard Nixon før hans avgang i 1974.\n\n– Resultatet her i kveld er et mandat for meg til å jobbe så hardt jeg kan for å motsette meg din agenda, kjempe mot hvor du tar dette landet og etterforske dine forbrytelser, sa Menefee med Trump som adressat.\n\nMenefee vil sitte for resten av Turners opprinnelige periode, som slutter når en ny Kongress blir tatt i ed i januar 2027.\n\n## Tre tomme seter\n\nDet er 435 plasser i Representantenes hus. Etter suppleringsvalget lørdag har Republikanerne 218 plasser og Demokratene 214.\n\nTre plasser står for tiden tomme, blant annet én fra delstaten Georgia, etter at den profilerte republikaneren Marjorie Taylor Greene trakk seg i starten av forrige måned.",
