Texas Gov. Greg Abbott won re-election to a third term, the AP said, defeating former Democratic congressman Beto O’Rourke and eliminating doubts as to Republican dominance over the state. Abbott's campaign emphasized Texas business and his efforts to take more state control over federal immigration and border security. O’Rourke tried to portray Abbott as a failed leader, focusing on the state’s near-total abortion ban, the deadly school shooting in Uvalde in May and a failure of the electrical grid in February 2021 that killed hundreds. #politics #midterms #gregabbott #betoorourke #texas #governor #midterms2022 #election2022 #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal #greenscreenvideo | Texas Gov.
