Texas Democrats swept statewide offices on Tuesday, breaking a 30-year Republican monopoly in the United States' largest conservative state. The upset was driven by record turnout in Latino communities and voter discontent over inflation and foreign policy. The election results hand Democrats control over the state's budget, public lands, and energy regulation.
