Incumbent Greg Abbott is seeking a third term, while Beto O’Rourke is attempting to become the first Democratic governor of Texas in more than two decades.
AUSTIN, Texas — The biggest race in Texas will soon be decided.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8, and voters will cast their ballots to decide who will be victorious in the race for Texas governor: Republican incumbent Greg Abbott or Democrat Beto O’Rourke.
The race has been a heated one. Abbott’s campaign has focused on conservative wins for border security and the economy, while O’Rourke’s campaign has targeted Abbott’s response to the Uvalde school shooting and the February 2021 power grid failure, as well as the state’s abortion law.
Polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday, and results are expected to begin rolling in shortly after. We will be closely monitoring the results and this story will be updated when the race is called.
