Analysis: Texas voters still fly a red political flag
Texas is not blue, but after this latest election, its Democrats are. Democrats got no wins in statewide races from the presidency to the high courts, and the partyโs elected officials remain in the minorities of the congressional delegation, the Texas Senate and the Texas House. Still, Texas Democrats have steadily made it more difficult for Republicans to get things done when the Democrats donโt want to go along. With the 2020 general election behind us, the Republican state House majority is intact, but small. If the issues of the day were not enough to force Texas lawmakers into practical things, the politics would be.
