With conservative firebrand and GOP Sen. Ted Cruz up for re-election in 2024, the question remains whether Republicans will once again dash Democrats' hopes of turning Texas blue.
easily won re-election to a third term, topping O’Rourke by nearly 11 points. And Republicans also won the other six statewide contests by comfortable margins.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas on Aug. 4, 2022. Jillson says the most interesting political shift in Texas isn’t the color of the state but the shading of the GOP electorate."The Republican primary electorate is no longer dominated as it was during the George W. Bush years by business-friendly conservatives who will sort of restrain themselves in order not to offend corporate America," he highlighted."Now the Republican primary electorate is dominated by social conservatives and populists.
Another storyline in the Lone Star State is the political battle for Hispanic voters. In South Texas, Democrats last November held on to two of three heavily Latino districts aggressively targeted by Latina Republican candidates. Jillson noted that Republicans"captured some male Hispanic voters in the Rio Grande Valley" along the southern border with Mexico in recent years, but added"that does not carry over to the urban areas of the state where most Hispanics live.
But while Republicans came up short of their goal of flipping Latino voters along the southern part of the state, the overall results in Texas once again dashed Democrats’ dreams of turning the state blue.
