A record-breaking number of female candidates ran for office in this week's Texas state primaries, and will go head-to-head in three runoff races across the state. Cosmopolitan's Jessica Pels explains why this trend is so historic.
For the first time in the state's history, Texas could send a Latina to Congress. Both Veronica Escobar and Sylvia Garcia won their primaries in traditionally Democrat-held districts.
When asked whether this rise of women in politics was slowing down anytime soon, Pels says she doesn't think so. A record number of women are running for office in the 2018 midterms.
The Colorado Republican Party has appealed the state's Supreme Court decision that will leave former President Donald Trump off the state's 2024 ballots.
Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is shifting congressional districts to a more conservative seat on the opposite side of the state to improve her chances of staying in office.
