Austin, Texas (AP) — to fill a Texas Congress, but no election date more than three weeks after the death of US envoy Silvester Torner left an vacancy post for the Democrats, which eagerly cut the majority of the US House of Representatives in the United States.
Torner, a former mayor of Houston, died on March 5 for a few weeks in Congress in Congress. Texas Republican President Greg Abbott has the only authority to hold a special election, but has not said he may do so.
The seat is one of the four empty places in Congress, including two empty places in Florida, where voters will elect successive in special elections next week for a couple of Republican-held districts. Republicans currently have 218 seats, while Democrats have 213 seats.
“There will be a declaration of a special election in the next time,” Abut spokesman Andrew Mahaliris said in an email.
The elections in Texas are normally held in May and November.
In 2021, two weeks after Republican representative Ron Wright called for special elections, he became the first Congress to die after signing a contract with COVID-19 during the epidemic. Last year, Abbott held a special election for the vacancies of Democratic representative Shila Jackson nearly two weeks after his death in July.
“This is very clearly playing the political games. They know that the majority of the United States in the House of Representatives is on the margins of thin, thin and holding,” said Jean-Woe, the Democratic State Representative in Houston.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that he would draw a candidate for the United Nations because of concerns that could threaten the strongest Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Trump’s announcement reflects a essential concern among Republicans in the council, fearing that most of them have already cut off their backbones, endanger their control over the room and the ability to carry out a broad agenda.
The New York Democrats had submitted a law that postponed the special elections and allowed Stephnik’s seat to remain open for several months, but after intensive support from Republicans, the measures were taken on the ice.
Harris Province’s lawyer, Christian Menifi and former member of the Houston town council Amanda Edwards are two of the main candidates who are competing for Texas. Menefi quickly received support for Colin Allrede and former Democratic representatives. Edwards, a lawyer, ran for the seat twice last year.
In Arizona, Democratic leader Kati Hobbes has called for several days of special elections after Republican representative Raul Grijaelva died on March
