After the nomination of President-elect Donald Trump, many are wondering if a recount will take place. Here's what state law says.

The battle for president and the hotly-contested U.S. Senate race between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Colin Allred were some of the highlights on the 2024 ballot.

Recent gains made by Democrats in past elections were wiped out, as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and other Republicans won by wide margins.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will win reelection to a third term, CNN projects, defeating Democratic challenger Rep. Colin Allred and denying Democrats one of their best chances to mitigate potential losses elsewhere.

If those results hold, the GOP will control at least 88 of 150 seats in the lower chamber when the Legislature reconvenes in January. That margin will give Gov. Greg Abbott “more than enough votes” to finally pass a school voucher bill, he said late Tuesday.

Ted Cruz underperformed compared to Donald Trump in the four major counties, but had an improved performance compared to his 2018 reelection campaign.

In Starr County, where Bazán lives, voters just backed a Republican presidential candidate for the first time in a century. The predominantly Hispanic and working-class rural county, where the median household income of $36,000 is one of the lowest in the nation, gave Trump a 16 percentage-point victory margin over Vice President Kamala Harris.

The membership of the Texas House is finally set after Tuesday’s general election — but the future of the chamber’s leadership remains a mystery. On Thursday, the jostling to hold the speaker’s gavel resumed with insurgent candidate Rep.
