Abbott concedes and addresses supporters after Hinojosa wins Texas governor's race

Democrat Gina Hinojosa won the Texas governor's race over Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who conceded and spoke to supporters, according to The Hill and ABC News.

Posted Updated (41 min ago)

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott conceded the Texas governor's race to Democrat Gina Hinojosa and addressed supporters afterward, ABC News reports. The Hill also reported the concession. ABC News had projected Hinojosa as the winner.

NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, NPR, PBS NewsHour and The Guardian all report that Hinojosa won on Tuesday. The Hill said Decision Desk HQ had not yet called the race as of 11:15 p.m. EST. At that point Hinojosa led by roughly 8 points with 80 percent of the vote counted, The Hill said.

Hinojosa is an Austin state representative. NBC News and NPR say she will be the first Democratic governor of Texas since 1995. NPR and The Guardian say she will be the state's first Latina governor. Abbott was a three-term governor seeking a fourth, according to NBC News and The Guardian.

Fox News reports that Hinojosa campaigned against school vouchers and corporate influence. It says her effort to tie Abbott to Trump proved pivotal. That is Fox's assessment. The other reports do not address it.

On Election Day, Abbott called Hinojosa "the number one most radical leftist" in the state House, The Hill reported. He said she was the farthest left candidate on the ticket.
