Republican Representative Brian Babin has successfully secured reelection for his U.S. House seat representing Texas, marking another term in Congress for the 76-year-old dentist and prior small-town mayor. Babin first took office in 2015 and has played a pivotal role in advocating for Texas, particularly in the state’s ongoing legal confrontations with the federal government regarding issues of illegal immigration. Additionally, he has been a vocal supporter of the efforts to impeach President Joe Biden.

During the investigation conducted by a House select committee focusing on the events surrounding the January 6 insurrection, it was disclosed that Babin participated in a White House meeting in December 2020. This meeting involved conversations about a potential strategy to persuade Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the presidential election.

The announcement of Babin’s reelection victory came at 10:26 p.m. EST, confirming his continued influence in the House and within Texas politics.
