Texas Decides

The race pits two conservative candidates against each other.

After a tense presidential election, some Americans are facing uncomfortable conversations with loved ones about the current political climate.

A week after Election Day, Valenzuela delivered a virtual concession speech.

Democrats and liberals had high hopes of flipping the state of Texas in 2020. But from the presidency down to the Texas House, they faced disappointment. Here's a look at the takeaways for the two major parties after the 2020 election.

Democrats must “start putting up legitimate candidates, legitimate Mexican-American or Latino candidates that have the backing of the party.”

Texas Democrats were hoping to flip six congressional seats and nine Texas House seats this election, while pulling off a close presidential race in the state. So far, it looks like none of that happened.

Democratic candidate Candace Valenzuela called Van Duyne's victory declaration "premature and irresponsible."

In a Twitter post on Wednesday morning, Cattanach conceded the Texas house race to the Republican incumbent Morgan Meyer.

There were predictions that Democrats could flip the Texas House for the first time in 20 years, but early returns show they didn't win enough seats.

Democrat Colin Allred won reelection to U.S. House in Texas' 32nd Congressional District. The North Texas district includes parts of Dallas, as well as University Park, Highland Park, Richardson, Garland and Wylie, among other suburbs.

Throughout the race, Cornyn maintained single-digit polling leads against Democratic opponent MJ Hegar — some smaller than others — though she benefited in recent weeks from fundraising momentum and a late outside spending surge, making for a less certain homestretch.

The sun has set on Election day. Voters in South Dallas, Irving and Corpus Christi shared what was on their minds on the last day of voting.
