Republicans won two big races this midterm election, governor and attorney general, as they did the last time those seats were up for reelection in 2018. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton each won by about 10 percentage points – for Abbott, it was a slightly narrower margin than in 2018, while Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton rebounded from a narrow win of less than 5 percentage points in 2018.
Overall, a far greater number of counties got redder this election than got bluer. And even though many of Texas’ largest counties got bluer, it wasn’t enough to sway the elections for gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke or attorney general candidate Rochelle Garza.
