The Texas Tribune
The Texas Tribune's live blog on the Nov. 3, 2026 midterms documents a Democratic sweep: Gina Hinojosa defeats Greg Abbott to become Texas's first Latina governor, James Talarico beats Ken Paxton for the state's first Democratic U.S. Senate win since 1988, and Nathan Johnson takes the attorney general's office in an upset. Editor-in-Chief Matthew Watkins calls the results stunning, with attention turning to whether Democrats can flip the Texas House.
