## Key points

- Gina Hinojosa became Texas’s first Latina governor.
- Democrats swept Texas as Latino voters swung back.
- Talarico won 77 per cent in Starr County.

## Summary

Gina Hinojosa’s victory over Texas Governor Greg Abbott helped deliver a Democratic sweep of the state, ending a 30-year run without a Democratic statewide win. The article presents the result as part of a wider rejection of President Donald Trump’s leadership, with Latino voters returning to Democrats and reshaping the political map.

In Texas, Democrats gained ground from the Rio Grande Valley to Dallas suburbs, winning counties Trump had carried in 2024. Senate candidate James Talarico won 77 per cent in Starr County, a 50-point-plus margin over Ken Paxton; Trump had won the county by 16 points. Organisers said targeted outreach to 300,000 Latino voters in the Rio Grande Valley helped, while the article links voter shifts to concerns about the economy, inflation, immigration enforcement and the war in Iran.
