‘This is a big deal’: Sean Spicer sounds alarm about ‘8.5 on the Richter scale’ GOP special election loss

Sean Spicer

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer warned on “The Huddle” Monday that Republicans should be concerned after losing a Texas special election ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Democratic Texas state Senate candidate Taylor Rehmet on Saturday beat President Donald Trump-endorsed Republican Leigh Wambsganss in the race for a seat Trump won by double digits three times. Spicer said on the show that Republicans needed to take the loss seriously if they hoped to retain control of the House of Representatives.
