Democrats broke Republicans’ 32-year hold on Texas in the U.S. midterm elections, with Gina Hinojosa defeating Republican Governor Greg Abbott to win the governorship and James Talarico becoming the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from the state since 1988. The twin wins mark a sharp reversal in a state long treated as a Republican stronghold and give Democrats a rare foothold in a large, fast-growing prize. The result reshapes the electoral map ahead of the next presidential cycle and raises questions about how much national resources both parties will commit to Texas going forward.
