Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke lost his race for Texas governor against incumbent Republican Greg Abbott, Fox News reported.
Abbott will remain governor for a third term, according to Fox News. O’Rourke lost his Senate campaign in 2018 to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and his presidential campaign in 2020.
Cook Political Report predicted the race would “likely” be handed to a Republican.

Abbott ran on a campaign that promoted his agenda of strict border security, energy independence and limited access to abortion.
Notably, Abbott launched “Operation Lonestar” to surge state troopers and soldiers to the border to address the record surge in illegal migration. As part of the initiative, Abbott has bused thousands of illegal migrants to sanctuary cities like New York City, Washington D.C. and Chicago.
O’Rourke’s campaign prioritized stricter gun laws in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers, and improved abortion access.
