Votes continue to be counted across Texas in the 2026 midterm elections, with Democrats securing major victories in the races for governor, U.S. Senate and control of both chambers of Congress.
Democrat Gina Hinojosa has defeated Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in the Texas governor’s race, according to a projection by the NBC News Decision Desk. Abbott publicly conceded the race Tuesday night before NBC News projected Hinojosa the winner, marking a historic political shift in a state where Republicans have held the governor’s office for decades.
Democrat James Talarico has also won Texas’ closely watched U.S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton, NBC News projects. The victory marks a significant breakthrough for Texas Democrats, who have not won a U.S. Senate election in decades.
Nationally, Democrats have won control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, according to NBC News projections, flipping both chambers from Republican control. The results set the stage for divided government during the remainder of President Donald Trump’s second term, with Democrats positioned to lead congressional committees, shape the legislative agenda and conduct oversight of his administration.
Meanwhile, votes continue to be counted in other statewide contests, congressional races and local elections across North Texas as election officials work to finalize results.
