Longtime Houston mayor Sylvester Turner was elected to Congress and sworn in this past January.
Yesterday he admitted he wasn't feeling well but was determined to watch the Trump debacle from the Congressional gallery.
Evidently Congressman Sylvester Turner passed away immediately after Trump's speech in the tunnel beneath the Capitol.
No cause of death was immediately known.
Partisan Governor Greg Abbott is expected to delay calling for a special election to replace Congressman Turner for as long as humanly possible, to give Republicans an additional one vote margin to their slim majority, which is 218 to 214 after Turner's death.
