An Inside Climate News article reproduced by Mother Jones reports that Democrats swept Texas, with Gina Hinojosa unseating three-term governor Greg Abbott to become the state's first Hispanic leader and James Talarico defeating Attorney General Ken Paxton for US Senate, ending decades of Republican rule. It says the sweep, driven partly by outrage over data center buildout, could bring environmental reform, with Hinojosa campaigning on a data center moratorium and a 2021 Texas Climate Plan.
