Democrat Gina Hinojosa takes down Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in stunning result
NBC News projects that Democrat Gina Hinojosa has defeated three-term Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, taking the red-state governorship from Republicans for the first time since 1995 and becoming, once the result is official, the state's first Hispanic governor. The article details how Abbott, outspent rival notwithstanding, lost rural voters over data centers and never debated Hinojosa, who courted Latino voters with Spanish-language town halls and ads calling him out for 'selling out Texas'.
