Texas statewide election results: Governor, lt. gov., attorney general
Republicans swept statewide positions in Texas including governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. A Democrat has not won a Texas statewide office in nearly three decades.
The Associated Press and FOX News Decision Desk projected Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to be reelected for a third term in Texas on Tuesday night.
Abbott defeated Democrat Beto O’Rourke in a midterm race that tested the direction of America’s supersized red state following the Uvalde school massacre and a strict new abortion ban.

The victory underlined Abbott’s durability. Despite record spending in the race that topped more than $200 million combined, O’Rourke was in danger of losing by double-digits just four years after his narrow U.S. Senate loss that was the closest by a Texas Democrat in decades.

Paxton’s victory in the midterm elections came in the face of an uncommon array of controversies, including disciplinary action by the state bar, an FBI investigation and a long-delayed trial on securities fraud charges. Paxton, 59, has denied any wrongdoing and bested first a formidable field of Republican primary opponents and then Democratic challenger Garza with backing from former President Donald Trump.
At an election night celebration in the Dallas suburbs, Paxton said "the reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated." He promised to keep fighting "big tech," "woke corporations" and the Biden administration.
