U.S. Midterm Elections" Republican Abbott's dream of winning 4 consecutive victories is shattered! Democrats win back Texas governor after 31 years

Quick Look

The results of the U.S. midterm elections showed that Democratic candidate Hinojosa was elected governor of Texas, defeating the current Republican Governor Abbott, who was pursuing a fourth consecutive victory, and became the first Latino governor there, ending the Republican Party's 31-year control of Texas.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Since former Democratic Texas Governor Ann Richards left office in 1995, the Democratic Party has never taken control of Texas, and the Republican Party has controlled Texas for 31 years.

Font size

The results of the U.S. midterm elections are coming out one after another. Many U.S. media announced that the 52-year-old Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa was elected as the governor of Texas, defeating the current Republican governor Greg Abbott who was pursuing a fourth consecutive victory. Hinojosa also made history and became the first Latina governor of Texas.

According to comprehensive US media reports, the Democratic Party has never taken control of Texas since former Democratic Texas Governor Dorothy Ann Richards (Dorothy Ann Richards) left office in 1995. Hinojosa will undoubtedly reverse the 31-year control of Texas by the Republican Party.

Hinojosa is a current member of the Texas House of Representatives. She ran for the election with very limited funds and popularity, and failed to receive major support from the party. Unexpectedly, she defeated Abbott, who is considered one of the most outstanding governors in the Republican Party.

Abbott has always firmly supported President Trump. This defeat may mean that Texas will transform from a traditional Republican vote base to a crucial swing state in the presidential election. Therefore, Hinojosa's victory made Democrats excited.

The Texas gubernatorial election has not yet been completed. Hinojosa currently has 52.9% of the vote, 4.644869 votes; Abbott has 45.7% of the vote, 4.006079 votes. Many US media have regarded Hinojosa as the elected candidate.
