Mayra Flores was sworn in as the first Mexican-born member of Congress this week. And she did it as a Republican running in a Texas district that has only ever elected Democrats.

Flores, a 30-something mother of four, told me she was brought up with strong conservative values that focused on faith, family and hard work.

She won nearly 51% of the vote against her Democratic opponents 43% in the special election to replace Democrat Filemon Vela, who retired before his term ended.

She even earned the vote of Texas transplant and billionaire Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who revealed on Twitter he had just made his first-ever vote for a Republican candidate:I voted for Mayra Flores first time I ever voted Republican. Massive red wave in 2022.

Flores will serve out the remainder of Velas term and must face Democratic nominee Vicente Gonzalez in Novembers general election to keep the seat. While her initial term will be short-lived (and she has a tough fight ahead of her in the general), her victory signifies the growing shift of Hispanic voters connecting with a more conservative message.

The voters in Flores34thcongressional district are 84.5% Hispanic. Flores, who hails from the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, Mexico, and came to the US legally with her family when she was six years old, is a respiratory care worker and the wife of a border patrol agent. Her campaign never shied away from the issue of border security and her belief that everyone can earn the American Dream.

People want you to understand the things that are really impacting their lives, like inflation, education policies, the border crisis, which is literally in our backyard, escalating crime and the drug crisis, said Flores in an interview with The Post.

We need a legal immigration system that works not what we have going on here everyday in the district, she said of the flood of migrants entering the southern border daily.

Flores said she got involved with her local Republican party several years ago when she realized she lined up with their views on faith, education and border security.

She said Hispanic voters see themselves as Americans, while Democrats see Hispanic voters as an ethnic voting bloc. Because of that they felt entitled to our vote, Flores said. The problem is they do not represent our values of faith, community, work ethic or the desire to seek better opportunities.

Although Flores Rio Grande Valley district has been controlled by the Democrats for more than a century, the partys support here is steadily beginning to erode. While Obama won here by a whopping 22.1% just 10 years ago, Biden took it by just 4.2%.

Cameron County which is 85 percent Hispanic and located on the border has swung 14.3 percentage points toward Republicans in less than two years. Biden took that county by 13.2 percentage points; Flores won it by 1.1%.

Flores remarkable victory is reminiscent of the 2010 red wave, when Republican House candidates in the Rust Belt states of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania swept seats that Democrats had held for generations. The media and the Democratic Party never expected Hispanics to vote Republican in the same way they never expected legacy blue-collar Democrats to flip parties in the 2010 and 2014 midterms. But they did.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Democrats have taken these voters for granted. They always believed they were entitled to their vote in the same way they believed for years they were entitled to the working class white vote, but when you stop talking to voters about things they care about kitchen table issues like inflation, crime, the cost of gas or utilities and securing the border you lose them, he said.

While Flores was talking about those issues in the closing days of the election, her opponent was running on [the Capitol riot of] January 6. That showed how out of touch Democrats are in understanding what people are worried about right now, McCarthy said.

Flores victory is part of a larger trend in states with high Hispanic populations where Republicans are bagging local races. Last year the GOP took two heavily Hispanic mayoral races in Texas. Javier Villalobos defeated a Democrat-backed candidate in the border city of McAllen, while Mattie Parker bested a Democrat in Fort Worth who had endorsements from Beto ORourke and Julin Castro, both of whom ran for president in 2020.

When Flores faces Gonzalez in November, the newly drawn lines of the 34thdistrict will favor Democrats. But she said she is undaunted by that challenge.

Nothing is impossible when you work hard. We have it in us and were going to work really hard to earn everyones votes. And Im confident that were going to win that reelection in November because no one will be able to outwork us, she said.

Flores said she was honored to earn not just Musks vote but the support of everyone who has sent her to the US Capitol. Now, she wants to be their voice in Washington.

Prior to me running, no one really cared about what Texas district 34 had to say, she said.

I ran because I wanted to give back to this amazing country thats given me so much. Ive accomplished the American dream and I just want all our children to also accomplish the American dream. I ran because I didnt want that to slip away. I won because people heard that in me.

When I get to congress my job is supposed to focus on the issues that matter to my constituents, not whats important to people in Washington, DC.

Former President Donald Trump has railed against the January 6 panel's public hearings.Chet Strange/Getty Images

Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster, told CNN that Trump is "paying a price" over the January 6 hearings.

He added that Trump can "send out his emails," but they're "having less and less of an impact."

Luntz also commented on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling him "more than a threat" to Trump.

Conservative pollster Frank Luntz said this week that he thinks former President Donald Trump's popularity is being damaged by the January 6 panel's public hearings on the Capitol riot.

Speaking on CNN's New Day program, Luntz said the panel focused "too much" on politicians but commented that the hearings are still hurting Trump.

"Donald Trump is actually paying a price for what these hearings are showing. So it's having an impact, even among Republicans," Luntz said.

He also commented on the public hearings not providing enough visual material of the actual riot.

"And in the end, the American people react to the visuals, not just the verbal, not just the conversation, and it is those visuals that proved to them that something really awful happened on January 6," he added.

Luntz also told CNN that polling in New Hampshire showed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is ahead of Trump in the state.

"Ron DeSantis is actually ahead of Donald Trump in a very credible survey. Trump's numbers are actually falling. And that is what's changing the dynamic here," Luntz said, adding that these changing impressions might influence whether Trump eventually runs for president again in 2024.

Asked about how DeSantis might fare in 2024, Luntz told CNN that the Florida governor was now "more than a threat" to Trump. Luntz highlighted that DeSantis had been proving himself and giving Republicans an opportunity to say that "it's time to move on" from Trump.

"Make no mistake, Donald Trump is the most popular political figure within the Republican Party, but there is now a specific challenger," Luntz said. "And Trump can yell and scream and send out his emails, I'm on his list, and they're all emotional, and they all are meant to blow things up, but they're having less and less of an impact with every single month."

Story continues

Luntz has openly criticized Trump on several occasions. For instance, in May last year, Luntz said Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud might cost the GOP the House in 2022. In April, Luntz revealed that Republican lawmakers were privately "laughing at" Trump behind his back because they think of him as a "child."

Meanwhile, Trump has railed against the January 6 panel's public hearings, demanding equal airtime on national TV and releasing a 12-page statement bashing the investigation while continuing to tout his baseless claims of voter fraud.

In contrast to Wales, Bale has been frozen out at Real Madrid but could be leaving the club soon.

Finally, after months of frustration on both sides, Real Madrid appears ready to offload Gareth Bale, with the Welsh winger headed for Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer. In other elite-player news, Paris Saint-Germain seems prepared to keep Neymar by offering the worlds most expensive transfer a lucrative contract extension, as it did with Kylian Mbapp not long ago. For Neymar, this would reportedly be a five-year deal.

As the big breakaway edges closer for Bale, who can soon put any troubles firmly behind him, he and Neymar seem to be taking different decisions, with one seeking a fresh challenge and the other staying put. Yet, with discontent never far away from both players, they each represent the same curious reality within super clubs today, which has been growing in relevance for a whilethat money is virtually boundless, and what it brings is never enough.

Combined, Real and PSG have spent well over 300 million ($317 million) in upfront fees for the players mentioned, plus much more in wages. In Neymars situation, no team has paid more for a recruit than PSG did for the Brazilian in 2017, whisking him away from Barcelona for 222 million ($234 million).

For all their goals and accolades, critical perceptions have continued to surface. For Bale, they have often been over his lack of game time and supposed struggles to adapt to Real. For Neymar, his brilliance has not propelled Paris Saint-Germain to a first Champions League honor, which has drawn criticism. And, of course, there is the expectation that when flush teams invest boldly, anything but the best is insufficient.

As Diario AS wrote earlier this month, a curse (Spanish) seems to have fallen over the majority of signings costing over 100 million ($106 million), of which there have been 12 so far. Neymar heads this small but presumably growing band, followed bythats right, another PSG playerstrike partner Mbapp. That cant just be a coincidence. With big bets come high pressure, scrutiny and no room for error. It practically dooms a player from the start.

Nowadays, Neymar the brand seems so far removed from the young, innocent soccer sensation who caught ... [+] the world's attention from Brazil.

Especially in Bales case, all this poses a question. What, exactly, do we expect money to bring? If trophies are the answer, Baleadmirer or nothas ticked all the boxes. Indeed, his performances have clinched final victories in the Champions League and domestic Copa del Rey, with him scoring some of the best Madrid goals ever. When he leaves, those will stay intact.

Its crazy to consider that some will be relieved to see such a player leave. Whats also crazy is how Real has gone on to win more trophies with him on the sidelines, a peripheral figure to whom they can still afford to pay high wages. Equally, the idea that Bale has gone from a hero to a problem is bizarre.

Unlike Bale, who did so for a while, Neymar has not become the ultimate game-changer many would have expected when he left Barcelona for Paris. He has brought something to PSG. But given the monopoly it has over other teams in France, not being crowned a champion of Europe has left his supreme talent somewhat hollow in output. Betting too much on one player has been a problem, and the same approach has also put unnecessary pressure on him at World Cups, which hasnt worked out.

And yet, PSG is prepared to keep shelling out to keep him. Quite simply, its because it can. But to what end? Next season, the 30-year-old is no more likely to take PSG to the next level than he was earlier in his career. His stock is no higher. But PSGs financial pull doesnt relent.

All this shows just how far removed PSG has become, both in terms of a convincing sporting project and success. As much of a fashion brand and NFT player as a soccer club, PSG will probably pick up another Ligue 1 title next year. It will also likely bow out of another European knockout game as it has during most of the last few campaigns, all while spending big to stay in the conversation. The Neymar-PSG relationship is symbiotic in how each gains something from maintaining ties, but not everything.

Bale and Neymar are expensive talents with different itineraries in the game. Perhaps their promise and costly fees have left something to be desired. As one heads to Los Angeles and the other tries again in France, this is not necessarily their puzzle to solve, but one for modern-day soccer instead.

Gareth Bale And Neymar Have Different Plans; Both Reflect The Same Issue - Forbes

On Sunday at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps face the New England Revolution in league play for the first time since 2019.

The last match played between these two teams was actually a pre-season friendly back February of 2020 at Providence Park where the Whitecaps claimed a 2-0 result with goals from Lucas Cavallini and Ali Adnan. In league play, the Revs are undefeated against the Whitecaps in their last three meetings, spanning back to August of 2017.

Evidently, a lot has changed for both teams since that most recent pre-season match. The Revolution had a standout 2021 season, taking home the Supporters Shield, while the Vancouver Whitecaps roster has undergone a significant overhaul, as well as a coaching change.

In order to learn a little bit more about what has been going on with the Revs these past couple of seasons, as well as preview the match up, we chatted with Jake Catanese, Senior Editor at The Bent Musket.

Q: For those not following the Revs closely, the biggest recent story lines from the club have been the significant player departures. How are the Revs dealing with moving on from those players, both in terms of on-pitch results and new acquisitions?

A: Well I hope that most Canada MNT fans know of Tajon Buchanans transfer to Club Brugge in Belgium last year as the winger officially joined after the end of the 2021 MLS Season. More recently, Matt Turner had his medical at Arsenal this week and that deal has been all but official between the Revs and the London side since February. Adam Buksa has also departed for FC Lens in France as the Polish international moves back to Europe ahead of the World Cup which will see Poland in Group C.

In preseason the Revs brought in a trio of LA Galaxy/USMNT veterans that have worked with Bruce Arena before in Sebastian Lletget, Jozy Altidore, and Omar Gonzalez. Lletget has been a regular starter, Jozy has played some minutes but has been working back to full fitness, and Omar has not done all that well when the Revs were extremely thin at centerback early in the year with injuries and heavy schedule congestion with the CCL and he might have even been dropped from a potential late sub/closer role off the bench as well.

Before the end of the primary MLS transfer window, the Revs did add two names that have had an immediate impact. Colombian attacker/winger Dylan Borrero was signed as a U22 Initiative Player from Brazils Atletico Minero and has done very well so far in MLS notching his first goal last week against Minnesota. In net, the Revs acquired Djordje Petrovic from Serbian side Cukaricki where he also played his youth soccer and posted a 20-7-7 record and 18 clean sheets in first full season with Cukaricki and has already notched wins in MLS and the US Open Cup for the Revs. Its been a busy year for transfers for the usually quiet Revs team especially with three high profile sales to Europe which are the clubs first since Clint Dempsey joined Fulham about 15 years ago but the Revs have been very proactive on the scouting front under Bruce Arena and now have a lot of financial resources to make a few big moves if needed immediately this summer or perhaps a handful of moves with the long term in mind after the World Cup.

Q: Other than last season where the Revs dominated the league, the club has typically been a fringe playoff team in recent years. Where are the expectations set for this season and how much did last year change how the club views itself?

The Revs history with the MLS Cup is well known and it is still a priority for the Revs to win that accursed trophy and they have a tremendous core still with current DPs Carles Gil and Gustavo Bou still on the roster and the potential to add a lot more alongside newcomers Borrero and Petrovic and mainstays like Farrell, Jones and Bye. Honestly, the next few years are crucial for the Revs because they have to continue to turn the page of a franchise that prior to hiring Bruce Arena, did not have a strong reputation financially. Being willing to spend but also sell players along with the teams brand new training ground up in Foxboro could make New England a very attractive location for young players looking to make the eventual jump to Europe. In the short term, with Carles Gil in a single elimination knockout game, the Revs have to be a threat in the playoffs and their current form is rebounding and has them in 6th in the East after a slow start. With a shield already in the trophy cabinet, this is a franchise that should be striving to compete for not just domestic titles but continental ones as well.

Q: Coming into BC Place, what kind of road results have the Revs enjoyed this year, and how do you anticipate Bruce Arena will set up his team for this fixture?

A: The Revs were a mess no matter where they played in the early part of the year with injuries and squad rotation for the CCL hampering their consistency in the first month or so. More recently, the Revs snagged late wins at Cincinnati and Kansas City thanks to goals from Tommy McNamara in the 89th and Ema Boateng in the 87th respectively in those matches. A three game road trip in July to NYCFC, Philadelphia, and Columbus could be the defining stretch of the Revs season that could see them rechallenge at the top of the East or settle into the lower playoff seeds. With New England currently in an eight game unbeaten streak (4W-4D-0L), continuing that form into and through that rough road slate could position themselves very well for the playoffs.

This week, the Revs have a specific problem and that is the injury to Matt Polster who is still out with a concussion. The Revs started Tommy Mac and Wilfrid Kaptoum as the two holding mids in the Revs reworked preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. Lletget, Henry Kessler, and Brandon Bye also missed last weeks win against Minnesota and are still listed as questionable so I dont expect a lot of changes from last weeks lineup which was:

Petrovic; Jones, Bell, Farrell, DeLaGarza; McNamara, Kaptoum; Bou, Gil, Borrero; Altidore

Changes that wouldnt surprise me would be Bou up top and maybe homegrown Damien Rivera getting a start on the wing. Ryan Spaulding could spell at left back switching DeJuan Jones to right back. Maciel could also start at either of the two holding/center mid spots behind Carles Gil. The Revs did pretty well defensively last week limiting Minnesota to only one great chance via a penalty that the Loons converted. Hopefully the more Borrero gets comfortable and involved the more the Revs offense can begin to click even without Buksa up top.

Match Preview: Vancouver Whitecaps host NE Revolution - Eighty Six Forever

England Women will receive the biggest indication of their Euro 2022 credentials on Friday evening when they host the Netherlands in a pre-tournament friendly at Elland Road in Leeds.

The match comes after Sarina Wiegman's England side registered a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Belgium last Thursday.

This week's test against the reigning European champions gives England a chance to examine how competition ready they are against Europe's best - with this the first meeting between the two sides since 2017's edition of the tournament - when England lost 3-0 to the Dutch.

Wiegman called for more ruthlessness following the Belgium display, which offered plenty of creativity through 25 shots, - 10 on target - but lacked a cutting edge, as two of England's three strikes on the night went down as own goals.

The Lionesses manager, facing her former employers for the first time, has placed greater importance on England's consistency in the final third, ahead of a contest against the side she guided to Euros success in 2017.

England come into the tie undefeated in their last 12 matches across all competitions, winning 10, during which time they have scored 75 goals and conceded only twice, albeit against lesser-ranked opposition.

What does Opta say?

In her pre-match press conference, Lionesses head coach Wiegman insisted the game will not play a psychological role ahead of the European Championships.

England and the Netherlands are considered two of the more likelier countries to win the competition come the end of July, but Wiegman admitted the competition this summer is too fierce for the Elland Road clash to be relevant.

"They are two very good teams, and of course we play the home tournament," said the England manager. "But the Netherlands has the trophy right now, the game has developed so much right now so there are many favourites.

"We have Spain, France, Germany, Sweden are always there, Norway has been very good. It's exciting to see what's going to happen. It's not easy to say who is going to come through, it's going to be very equal I think."

In what will be a major litmus test in terms of England's credentials this summer, Wiegman admits there have not been any special preparations ahead of this pre-tournament contest.

"We did the same as we always do when preparing our opponents," said Wiegman. "Yes we want to know some things about them but we come back to how we want to approach the game and how we want to play and harm them to cover our strengths.

"It's also their first game they play in the preparations for the Euros. We expect their strongest team. It's time to see our style of play and see what it's like against a good opponent.

"We want to win every game but we want to see an improvement in our style of play, in possession, out of possession and transition. That's what we focus on and hopefully that brings us the win and when you do, it's gives an extra boost in confidence."

Sky Sports News' Anton Toloui:

Wiegman has downplayed the emotion behind the game against her former employers but actions speak louder than words.

Wiegman greeted, chatted and embraced every member of the Netherlands squad and backroom staff before training at Elland Road on Thursday, many of whom she shared years of experience with.

The happiest of the set was at the Euros in 2017, when a fairly unfancied side won the tournament in front of a jubilant home crowd. So many of the Dutch players became bigger names, got big moves and earned bigger contracts off the back of the success masterminded by Wiegman. She helped put women's football on the agenda in the Netherlands.

Chatting to Mark Parsons off-camera, he's well aware of the pressure replacing a national hero comes with but isn't shying away from it. He's coached some of the biggest names in North America, with Becky Sauerbrunn, Crystal Dunn and Christine Sinclair part of his successful Portland Thorns side. A win against England and Wiegman will send a message his Netherlands team is a side to be reckoned with despite the fact other teams have shorter tournament odds.

But Wiegman is unbeaten as England head coach, a record she's determined to keep intact regardless of the personal attachment to the occasion.

Sky Sports' Sam Blitz:

It's been plain sailing for Wiegman so far as Lionesses coach. Zero defeats, just two goals conceded in a dozen games and a confident squad going into the Euros.

But the last few days have seen the first wobble in terms of preparation. Star striker Ellen White has been ruled out of this Friday's clash with the Netherlands and could miss the final warm-up match against Switzerland.

The loss of White is a real blow, given the Manchester City forward has 14 goals in her last 13 international matches. If the hour against Belgium last week proves to be her only on-pitch preparation time, then the Lionesses' all-time record goalscorer could come into the group stages a little undercooked.

Consequently, Wiegman will need to give other forward options, who have largely played second fiddle to White in recent years, a chance to demonstrate their credentials.

The most likely replacement for White is Chelsea's Beth England. The 28-year-old holds some impressive international form with eight goals in 16 caps, while her 11 goals helped Chelsea win the Women's Super League and FA Cup double last term.

England came off the bench for White after 60 minutes against Belgium and while she didn't get on the scoresheet, the Lionesses scored twice in the first five minutes she was on the pitch.

Manchester United's Ella Toone is also likely to get some minutes at Elland Road following a brilliant breakout season in the WSL. The 22-year-old has scored 10 goals in 13 England appearances over the past two years and has 19 league strikes for United in that same period.

But pressure to deliver in White's absence will also fall to the wide players, particularly Lauren Hemp. The Man City winger and PFA Young Player of the Year is, arguably, England's most in-form attacker. She was influential against Belgium despite not making an impression on the scoreline.

Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly both looked sharp at Molineux last week and will look to lay further claim to a possible starting berth for the opening group game against Austria. Fran Kirby, Nikita Parris and Alessia Russo will also be poised to pounce, should an opportunity arise.

The Netherlands clash will also be a major test for the Lionesses' backline - who, as previously mentioned, have rarely been tested since their Dutch coach took over.

Wiegman could be tempted to go with her first-choice back four against the likes of Vivianne Miedema and fellow forward Lieke Martens, who scored 23 goals in 32 games for Barcelona last term and will join Paris Saint-Germain after the summer Euros.

That means Millie Bright and Alex Greenwood, who impressed after coming off the bench against Belgium, are likely to get their biggest test in an England shirt for some time should those two Dutch attackers start.

Don't be surprised if Wiegman uses this Netherlands meeting as a dress rehearsal for a potential Lionesses knockout game.

Sky Sports' Laura Hunter:

England are continuing to evolve under Wiegman's leadership. It's the reason she was targeted - she's tactically astute and has a perceptive understanding of the women's game at international level. But implementation of certain ideas remains a work in progress.

The most significant tactical shift has occurred in midfield. Leah Williamson has taken a step forward, literally and figuratively. She's been awarded the captain's armband on a permanent basis but has also morphed into a midfield box-to-boxer - a less familiar role to the one she operates in at club level.

Against Belgium the 25-year-old played as part of a double pivot with Keira Walsh, to good effect. Unsurprisingly, both players were ranked inside the WSL's top 10 for successful passes across a 90-minute period in 2021/22. Walsh's 88 per cent success rate was second-best in the league.

Their partnership is still developing, but it has promise. The deep-lying midfield role is one that Walsh has a wealth of experience in - Williamson less so. But therein lies its potential. Because the Man City midfielder is so adept at patrolling the middle third of the pitch, it allows for greater freedom further forward.

Against Belgium, Williamson was making purposeful runs from deep and either receiving the ball in a useful position or dragging a defender waywardly out of shape. It caught Belgium off-guard. It also aided service into Georgia Stanway's feet - like a three-way axis. At times Williamson was actually the most advanced midfielder, which speaks to the system's fluidity. The fact that personnel are interchangeable is part of its charm. Certainly, England's ball-carriers - Stanway, Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze and co - were benefiting from the space her selfless runs were creating.

Wiegman's possession-based style calls for a successful midfield combination and it's a department that needed fresh impetus. It won't work against all levels of opposition, but it is worth further exploration.

England will travel to Zurich to take on Switzerland next week, which will conclude their warm-up tour ahead of next month's European Championships.

They face Austria in their tournament opener at Old Trafford on July 6, before further group stage meetings with Norway (Amex Stadium) and Northern Ireland (St Mary's).

Keep up with all the latest from Euro 2022 across Sky Sports and Sky Sports News this summer.
