The latest major statewide election event in Texas was the 2026 primary elections, not a general election, so there is no single overall “winner of the election in Texas” yet.

Quick Scoop: Texas Elections

Because “who won the election in Texas” can mean different things (president, governor, senator, or a special race), here’s what the most recent results actually show.

1. Most recent statewide action: 2026 primaries

In early March 2026, Texas held its party primaries to choose nominees for the November midterm elections, not to elect final office‑holders.

Key outcomes included:

  • Democratic primary for governor: State Rep. Gina Hinojosa won the Democratic primary for Texas governor with over 60% of the vote and will face Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in November.
  • Democratic primary for U.S. Senate: State Rep. James Talarico won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett and avoiding a runoff.
  • Republican primary for agriculture commissioner: Collin County businessman Nate Sheets defeated incumbent Sid Miller in the GOP primary for Texas agriculture commissioner.
  • Republican U.S. Senate primary: Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton are headed to a GOP runoff, so there is no final Republican nominee yet.

These are primary winners , not winners of the full statewide general election.

2. Recent special election “winner” in Texas

If you meant a recent special election rather than a statewide one, the most notable early‑2026 result was in a Houston‑area U.S. House race.

  • In Texas’ 18th Congressional District, Democrat Christian Menefee won a special runoff election to complete former Rep. Sylvester Turner’s term in Congress, defeating Amanda Edwards with about two‑thirds of the vote.

That race affected only one district, not the whole state.

3. If you meant the 2024 general election in Texas

For context, Texas also voted in the 2024 general election (president, Congress, etc.), but the live pages summarizing those statewide results focus on detailed race‑by‑race data rather than a single headline “who won Texas” summary.

If you were asking specifically about:

  • The 2024 presidential winner in Texas
  • The 2024 governor’s race (note: Texas did not have a gubernatorial general election in 2024; the last was in 2022)
  • Or a particular 2024 statewide race

…please clarify which race and year you care about, and I can narrow it down.

4. Why the question is tricky

“Who won the election in Texas?” is incomplete on its own because:

  • Texas holds many elections: primaries, runoffs, specials, and general elections.
  • Different offices (governor, president, senator, House, state legislature) can have different winners in the same year.
  • As of March 2026, the most recent statewide contests were primaries , which only decide nominees, not final office‑holders.

A helpful way to think about it: primaries decide “who will run in Texas,” while general elections decide “who will rule in Texas.”

5. What you can do next

To give you the exact winner you’re after, I’d need:

  1. The year (e.g., 2020, 2022, 2024, 2026).
  2. The office (president, governor, U.S. senator, U.S. House district, etc.).
  3. Whether you mean the primary or the general election.

If you reply with something like “Who won the 2024 presidential election in Texas?” or “Who won the 2026 Democratic primary for governor in Texas?”, I can give a precise, name‑and‑party answer. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
