Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has won his third term in the Texas governor’s mansion, defeating Beto O’Rourke in his latest bid to be the first Democrat to win a statewide race in Texas in nearly three decades.
Abbott, who campaigned on strengthening the business climate in the state as the nation’s economy continues to struggle under inflation and rising interest rates, handily defeated O’Rourke, who sought to focus the race on social issues like abortion—now banned with nearly no exceptions in the Lone Star State—and increasing regulation on firearms.
I hate this corrupted piece of trash!- women of Texas
Who are these voters?!!
Texas loyalty to impotent men is brokebsck AF.
Texas lost. That's the takeaway.
Texans aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the box It's very easy to gaslight them with pictures of migrants crossing the border The Republicans have even got people of Mexican descent in Texas hating their own
Abbott won, Beto lost, but Beto didn’t let Texas down. He busted his ass to GOTV. I’m very disappointed, but in Texas, not in Beto.
Beto didn’t let the Dems down, Voters did, get it right!
Good luck with this Texas Try to stay warm this winter.
How did he let them down? They are the ones that didn’t vote for him
What’s Beto going to run for next
Texas leads in massacres and rape, it looks like the people in Texas are OK with that.
Texas doesn't deserve Beto.
Texas is afraid of change. Texas lost in this one.
Disgusting. Shame on you Texas.
Because the people of Texas love their guns more than children .
No. Texas voters went to bat for school shootings and death by freezing.
Robert Francis is on his way to becoming the Jim Kelly of politics.
Smh.
