In Starr County, where Bazán lives, voters just backed a Republican presidential candidate for the first time in a century. The predominantly Hispanic and working-class rural county, where the median household income of $36,000 is one of the lowest in the nation, gave Trump a 16 percentage-point victory margin over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The battle for president and the hotly-contested U.S. Senate race between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Colin Allred were some of the highlights on the 2024 ballot.
Mihaela Plesa, a Democrat, will continue to represent District 70. Morgan Meyer, a Republican, will represent District 108, and Angie Chen Button, a Republican who has served eight terms as the only Asian American woman in the Legislature, will represent District 112 in the Texas Legislature, the AP projected.
If those results hold, the GOP will control at least 88 of 150 seats in the lower chamber when the Legislature reconvenes in January. That margin will give Gov. Greg Abbott “more than enough votes” to finally pass a school voucher bill, he said late Tuesday.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will win reelection to a third term, CNN projects, defeating Democratic challenger Rep. Colin Allred and denying Democrats one of their best chances to mitigate potential losses elsewhere.
