But, I thought there was supposed to be a blue tsunami. What happened?

There's a lot left to be played in the round yet. The Cruz/O'Rourke matchup is a lot more competitive than it should be, and that may be the most important.

In the July race, the democrats put together 5k more votes than the republicans, but they kinda split the vote between 2 candidates.

In the runoff race, it appears some of the democrats may have crossed over and voted for the republican. Almost the same number of votes cast, but the republicans picked up more votes.

He used some interesting interesting vernacular in his interview!
“We conservatives are conservative in the way we make approaches. The gunfight’s not over until the last shot’s fired,” Flores told the Express-News after Gallego conceded in a phone call just before 9 p.m. “The last shot’s been fired.”
I don't think the last shot has been fired in Texas by a long shot but the duel in SD19 is over!
