2026 Election: Hinojosa wins Texas governor race

All right, you just listened there to Governor Greg Abbott, who went down a list of some of his highlights, a bit of a swan song as you look at those numbers there. Regina Hinojosa comfortably looking to defeat him here tonight to become the next governor of Texas. We also just got word that the Associated Press is officially calling James Tallarico the winner of that race against Ken Paxton. So that Senate seat will be flipped for Democrats. Enormous, a lot of people saw that coming, but no one saw the clean sweep and the margin of victory enjoyed by Tallarico, Hinojosa and others on the statewide Democratic slate. It's truly historic. It is a wipeout and a clear repudiation of Republican rule under Donald Trump. So now, where do we go from here, essentially? What do you surmise will be the next steps for Democrats here? Because, I mean, Tallarico goes to D.C. Do you suspect that that will be like a full rebuke, and they will continue that through legislation? Or what do you think is the move here? Well, they have to start out tomorrow delivering on the promises that they made. You know, returning affordability, getting better health care to people. So, yeah. They are. All right. Let's go now to our Sacra Gray. As we're talking about that, Greg, let's go to Sacra Gray. She's following Gina Hinojosa's camp. There was so much excitement here at Gina Hinojosa's camp. I mean, there were tears, hugging, so much energy. I don't think anybody, I mean, maybe a few people did expect for this to happen a year ago. But the Brownsville native a year ago when she announced her campaign had very little name recognition. Not a lot of money, but she managed to... This 49 is her lucky number, she's represented District 49 and now she could go on to be Texas's 49th governor. Now, she would be ending a 30 plus year drought in the governor's mansion for Democrats. She would be the first Latina governor, also the third female governor in Texas history as well. If you take a look behind me, this is what's going on here at the party. The Regina chant erupted, tears, hugs, people's tears.
