A New Texas

In one night, voters changed everything in Texas. On this episode of the Texas Take, host Jeremy Wallace teams up with the Austin American-Statesman’s John Moritz and The Dallas Morning News’ Gromer Jeffers to unpack a historic election that transforms the Lone Star State’s politics for years to come. They dig into how Democrat Gina Hinojosa became the first Latina governor in state history and James Talarico the first Democratic U.S. senator in more than 30 years. The trio examines how Republican missteps, surging Black and Latino turnout, and a failed redistricting gamble ended decades of Republican dominance—and what comes next.
