Goodbye Beto.
Greg Abbott is projected to remain the governor of Texas.
Beto O’Rourke, who failed to defeat senator Ted Cruz in 2018, and then launched an unsuccessful presidential bid in 2020, has lost for the third time.
The Fox News Decision Desk called the race with 38% reporting.
looks like it’s back to the drawing board for Beto!
I’d say I hope he stays away, but he’s been a great candidate if you’re a republican.

Fox News has the good news:
The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Gov. Greg Abbott (R) will remain in the Governor’s mansion for a third term. He defeats high-profile Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke.
O’Rourke, the former congressman from El Paso who grabbed national attention for nearly upsetting conservative Sen. Ted Cruz in the state’s 2018 Senate showdown before launching an unsuccessful bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, was trying to become the first Democrat to win a gubernatorial election in Texas in over three decades.

This wasn’t a big surprise, but it’s still worth celebrating:
Beto O'Rourke raised $80 million for his Senate race against Ted Cruz in 2018.
He raised $60 million for his governor race against Greg Abbott in 2022.
Beto has now lost both races.

BREAKING: Beto has officially lost the hat trick of President, Governor and Senator.
Turns out the fake hispanic nickname didn't help at all.

Tomorrow, Beto returns to his job as assistant night manager at the Starbucks off of I-35 by the Ramada.
