Talarico defeated scandal-plagued Republican Ken Paxton for the US Senate, while Hinojosa unseated three-term Governor Greg Abbott. Voter dissatisfaction with rising energy costs, cost-of-living issues, and foreign policy concerns contributed to this decisive rejection of President Trump and the GOP in a traditionally conservative state.
