Map: See how Denton County voted in the Texas Senate race between Talarico, Paxton

Ted Cruz both carried in 2024, and has historically gone for Republicans in top-of-ticket races.

Red State Blues: A Californian turned Texan reflects on midterm losses

On Tuesday, I woke up cautiously confident Texas would remain under Republican control. On Wednesday, that confidence was obliterated. I hadn’t traveled a mile, but politically I felt a long way from home. Democrats won the governor’s office, a U.S. Senate seat, and control of the Texas House, while...

Texas and Tarrant County voters wanted change. Not necessarily Democrats | Opinion

Absolutely nothing about high prices will change Jan. 1 when new faces take over at the Texas Capitol and the Tarrant County Courthouse. The reason we can’t afford gas or Cokes or lunch is in Washington, thinking up more expensive tariffs and wars and prison spending while he designs a $600 million ballroom .

But the same voters also turned down tens of billions of dollars in public school bonds, because whatever school districts want to build or buy, we can’t afford it right now. So this election was all about high prices, not policies. And the war. And establishment corruption. And big business influence, not just for data centers. There’s more to say about Tuesday, but I’ll keep it short: It wasn’t a Democratic mandate Texans still hate both political parties. Just because Texans elected Democrats this week doesn’t mean voters actually like them. Only 34% of Texans like the Democratic party overall, based on the Sept. 25-Oct. 5 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll. Meanwhile, 41% of Texans — still less than half —
