Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Democrat Beto O'Rourke are steering into the finish of one of the most expensive midterm races in the country.
Democrat Beto O'Rourke was hoping for an upset in America's biggest red state in one of the most expensive midterm races in the U.S., but Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott won the bid for a third term, ABC News projects.
He has rallied his base around a record number of illegal border crossings from Mexico to the U.S., aggressively courted Hispanic voters in south Texas, and seized on economic anxieties and recession fears that have created headwinds for Democrats nationally. A victory by Abbott would strengthen his position as a potential presidential contender in 2024, secure his place as the second-longest serving governor in the state's history and extend decades of GOP dominance.
Roughly 8 in 10 Texas voters say the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, which recognized a constitutional right to abortion, was a factor in their votes. But only 1 in 10 say it is the top issue facing the country.
