Though the margins in the state’s presidential race were narrower than they have been in years, Texas Democrats underperformed the high expectations they had set for themselves, particularly in the battle for dominance in the Texas House.#tx2020 https://t.co/gO48v4iTaw

Where we’re at in Texas at this hour:

Trump +6
Cornyn +10
After targeting 10 U.S. House seats, it’s increasingly possible Dems pick up none
State House isn’t flipping, unclear if Dems will even see a net gain
The Houston metro area was almost a worst-case scenario for Dems in 2020.

They lost all their congressional targets (#TX02, #TX10, #TX22) & 4/5 #txlege targets (#HD26, #HD28, #HD126, #HD138). @gina_calanni was unseated in #HD132 & Biden barely beat Clinton's Harris County margin
What. A. Wipeout. It looks as if the long-awaited Latinx turnout turned against them.
One of the biggest stories in #Texas is what has unfolded in South Texas. Look at Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley, heavy Latino population. It’s a small county but the swing is unreal. Clinton won 79-19 in 2016. Biden won 52-47.
