Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has won re-election in Texas, defeating Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke, according to FOX News.
Abbott was first elected in 2014 to the position that Republicans have held in the state since 1995.
Abbott is holding his election night watch party in McAllen. He says he has spent more time in the Rio Grande Valley than any other Texas governor in the state’s history. He believes the Latino vote will help win him a third term in office. "There will be other cities in the future that also will be on the receiving end of migrants, because we will continue to have to move migrants because Joe Biden continues to allow more illegal immigrants to come into the state of Texas," Abbott said.
During the debate, O’Rourke also accused Abbott of doing little to stop another massacre like the Uvalde elementary school shooting.
