Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke will face off in the race for governor this November.

The big picture: Abbott on Tuesday night secured the Republican Party's nomination for re-election, while the Democrats made 2020 presidential candidate O'Rourke their nominee for governor as they hope to end decades of losses in the red state, per AP.

Meanwhile, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appeared headed to a runoff in a night when other statewide Republican incumbents were cruising to big victories.

What's next: Expect the most expensive gubernatorial campaign in Texas — and possibly U.S. — history.

Beto once said “hell yes I’ll take your guns” on the debate stage.

He ain’t winning in Texas with that quote hanging over his head. Austin, yes, statewide? No way.

 

[dasailr03]

I truly wish Beto win this shit but Texas is on some real hardcore ignorant shit so who the fuck knows. Nothing abou texas makes any goddamn sense. They had a choice before and picked dumb ass Cruz, now they stay getting fucked and love it, why? because as long as the federal government not fucking them, they don't give a fuck who does fuck them. With that said... I see abbott prevailing because texas don't give a fuck.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Why doesn’t beto use his real name???

iono trust people who want to lead with fake names

u not the Führer

No! A lot of people are still pissed with Governor hot wheels last year with that freeze event. The only thing people have to look out for is the Republicans in that state is going to cheat like Hell.

 

[cocobeauty]

I think Beto will take it because his numbers were stronger than rolling ray…at least they were before I went to bed last night.

I also want ignorant ass Ken Paxton to go too.

 

[Politic Negro]

Abbott's gonna win despite the freeze that Texans will pay for until death, the messed up CPS system he runs, unpaid suicidal Texas Guard troops, and paper tag DPS system.

BTW MF's couldn't be bother to vote a known Civil Rights lawyer for Texas AG.

Yeah from what I gather Abbott is frowned upon heavily from both sides of the political table... I think that even the republicans are willing to vote against him to get him out

I said the same thing.

If you think Texas is giving up guns, you have to be on "Crack Cocaine." I don't have a clue why he ever said that.

 

[Darrkman]

There's more than enough Black and Hispanic people in Texas to make it go Dem. That's why they work so hard at voter suppression. 2020 scared the shit out of a lot of Republicans.

 

[RoomService]

Has this guy ever won anything statewide in Texas?

 

[Politic Negro]

Has this guy ever won anything statewide in Texas?

This is his second race statewide and had almost beat Cruz but not enough people turned out in the Major cities.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Ayoooo

Texas power grid is fucked up, but there are millions of dollars to go to someone promising to fix it.

Doesn't everyone know his real name by now? Maybe it's a Texas thing because Rafael does the same thing.

The streets call him Beto……

 

[shaddyvillethug]

That shit crazy

 

[durham]

Beto is a habitual loser. The racist cripple will smoke him due to the wave of newly minted republican Mexicans

Real talk, he came close to beating Abbott in 2018. That was before that fool couldn't keep the lights on. Back that bullshit end around on abortion turning regular people into snitches and back restrictive voting laws. This fool even got on tv and said the answer to women who get pregnant by rapists and still have to bear those children was to arrest rapists.

He doubles down on his dumb shit and I hope it comes back to bite him right in the ass.

Fuck Greg Abbott.

 

[knightmelodic]

It'll come down to three things:

• how effective the voter suppression is
• how many people vote
• how many Dems have moved to Texas

 

[TX4lyfe]

fuck abbott and beto is a weirdo. Not enough Cali people here to pull off the upset anyway

 

[christop]

I think he has a real chance the demos in tx are changing.

 

[Politic Negro]

I think he has a real chance the demos in tx are changing.

The perception is that Texas is a predominately Republican state and it isn't.

Nearly 18% of registered Texas voters cast 2022 primary ballots

Texas has a history of a dismal turnout rate in primary elections. This year’s turnout was higher than the last six midterm primaries. Still, less than 1 in 5 registered voters participated.

Beto also fucked himself with his stance on assault rifles.

I doubt that crowd was going to vote for him anyway.
