Why do you think the Republicans lost their stronghold, Texas?

Because the latino vote swapped sides for one. Latinos went for tRump in 24 in pretty big numbers and then he screwed them with all the indiscriminate snatching of people off the street and ICE murdering random brown people. If you look at the breakdown by county that's a big reason. There is also the corruption of filthy candidates such as Ken Paxton, that played a big role, him being on the ballot drug all the R's down some. There's also Greg Abbott's corrupt little love affair with Elon Musk, subsidizing him to the tune of over a billion $ and letting him use Texas public lands to the exclusion of Texas citizens, ramming unwanted data centers down the throats of Texans. Now throw in the price of diesel, gas groceries etc.
FunFact: On top of all that, Texas legislators are wanting to hurry up and strip power out of the office of the governor before Hinojosa can take office, claiming that the current powers would be dictatorial... well that means Republican Abbott has had dictatorial power all this time doesn't it.
All the comments down this comment section claiming it's people from other places? Nah... not at all... people are sick and tired of the filth and corruption of the trump led Republican party... plain and simple.
By the way I'm a native Texan, and while this is just my opinion with some legit stats thrown in, there's plenty of the usual MAGA spin doctors in here spewing pure rubbish, some of them live in blue states. Talarico won by 12 points, Hinojosa by 7, that represents MUCH more than "the new guys moving in screwed us". Texans have had it with MAGA to a large degree.

Because Texans see through the fog of the drunken blowhard in the Whitehouse and Americans I think are starting to use their critical thinking skills to see the Republicans to be out for the rich and not the rest of us.

People flee from blue states to red states.
When they get there they vote blue.

Trump is 100% responsible with his failures.

Republicans lost Texas because it has become predominantly Hispanic and, at the state level, Hispanics tend to favor Democrat domestic policies.

All the people who moved from California to Texas to escape the high taxes aand crime voted democrat. Congratulations folks, you just brought california to Texas.

[slatyb]

Because Trump sucks, and because Texas is turning purple.

[kellytheman]

I just think that people wanted a Democrat in Texas since it’s been a Red state for a very long time and Texas have had a couple bad years and needed a change.

[FrodoVader007]

Well, liberals have a goal of the US becoming Islamo Communist

[Monoc]

Texas is a liberal state?

[FrodoVader007]

@Monoc Maas migration does that.
It's what I've warned about.
Look at the UK. That's our future and worse. 🤷‍♂️
I'm not Republican or Democrat, I see the writing on the wall.

Because californians ruin everything they touch.

[Iron_Man]

Because the economy is really bad now and the people want to change it they wanted to eat and not pay a fortune and for gasoline as well

[msc545]

Lost Texas. The same reason they lost everything else it has to do with their behavior and Trump's mouth.

[Anonymous]

People voted against anyone that Trump supported

[Titlover01]
