I assume you’re not from Texas if you’re questioning Abbott
No I'm not, but I do know Abbott had his problems.
All I'm saying is that it's unusual for an incumbent to gain votes and still lose.
Several posters on here said Cornyn would have beat Talafreako.
Wasn't Cornyn in the same vein as Abbott?

Abbott received 4.65 million votes in 2018. So he has actually been losing votes since that time.

Destroying Public schools alone was enough to get the boot.
Redistricting mid decade
was another blatant act that pissed people off.
Selling out for Data centers was strike 3.
Patrick was the big crazy voice going after huge criminal penalties for minimal amounts of THC gummies, etc. Abbott didn’t do anything, just let Patrick go off as if the people didn’t matter.
Abbott did veto the orginal weed ban that had Patrick in hissy fit. He was the only one that is politically savvy. Same reason he avoided Trump during Trump compaign trail with Paxton.
Guys like Bo French and Dan patrick were in/running for positions that were locks for R as long as they kept the head down. They got arrogent and it cost them.

He had more votes this time than 2022 though.
Shouldn't the trend have kept going?

I don’t care about this ejection because it’s done and over. My question is can these results be duplicated in the 2028 presidential cycle? Was this a one off because of unique circumstances or has Texas actually “turned blue”?

as did their spending
Which encouraged and sustained the Democrats' hope and independents fleeing away from
Wonky eye paxton
data center advocate abbott
gummy hatin patrick
its very simple; why can't you seem to grasp it
the Democrats didn't win it as much as the Republicans lost it
The Republicans did a lot of things to lose it , the aforementioned
and the Democrats did one thing to win it , kept trying
and they had the funding through Nov this time

First midterm in 66 years (16 cycles) where Dem votes beat Presidential baseline (+609,851 over Harris).
Anonymous GOP judge (Yeary, 4.66M) outpolled Gov. Abbott by +134,770 R votes

Strange Days indeed. Most peculiar momma.

Not if you piss off your base.
You pissed off your base. That is shown in almost every state.

Agree to disagree.
99% of Repubs will not cross the line on certain issues, abortion being one of them.
So no, this didn't happen.

I agree its hard to believe but even this board is full of low IQ morons who claim to be republicans that decided to go full commie this election for some reason.
Based on all what I have seen on here since the election, there sure has been an amazing number of turncoats!

Because he was supposedly losing popularity.

Then he should have lost votes this election, but he gained votes.
