Unfortunately, I can't imagine Texas Gov Abbott will be in any hurry to schedule a new election for his replacement.

One OP says Rep Turner just last night warned Republicans about Medicaid.

Then…he dies of a medical emergency???????????????????????????????????????????🆘

Windows work for Russians…

He was apparently sick but the coincidence of timing is, well, creepy.

Keep in mind these two OPs were within moments of each other and I read the warning OP first and then read that he died also last night. Fucking creepy!

Had the medical emergency early Tuesday afternoon, so he couldn’t have warned republicans last night regarding Medicaid.

health problems.

Although all the Democrats looked pissed or upset throughout, I remember when I saw him in one shot, thinking it looks like that guy (didn’t know who he was at the time) was having a heart attack, his face looked so pained.

I do blame Trump for his passing.

Remember, congress has the best healthcare awarded to anyone on Earth.

Very sad news. May he rest in peace.

What does congress's healthcare have to do with it?

It was because of Trump's speech before Congress.

I live in Houston, and his last appearances have been concerning. He had oral/bone cancer in his jaw and had clearly dropped quite a bit of weight.

He’s no longer in pain … blessings to his family and loved ones.

My former father-in-law worked for Sylvester. There is a concept in palliative care called the "last good day/hour", Slyvester visited my father-in-law in the hospice on his last good day. First the security team came by and checked things out and then Slyvester came in and spent a good half hour with my former father-in-law. It was sweet. The next day my father in law declined drastically and passed a couple of days later.

RIP -- two good souls.

Thank you for your service

The election is set by the governor. He will certainly delay it to the furthest possible date, since it's a guaranteed Democratic win.

On the flip side, this was done in NY as well.
