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.
