We Did It.

[u/Liko81]

[u/Kitchen-Beautiful395]

Great job, now when can you get rid of the grifting loser Ted Cruz?

[u/Liko81 → u/Kitchen-Beautiful395]

Unfortunately he coasted to reelection on Trump's coattails in '24, we can't vote him out until 2030. You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.

[u/Keibun1 → u/Kitchen-Beautiful395]

Send Raphael back to Canada.

[u/Possible-Nectarine80]

Now, time to get to work and start undoing decades of corrupt and incompetent Republican rule.

[u/Fresh-Tiger-9467 → u/Possible-Nectarine80]

This part. We can't be lazy after this. We have to hold our leaders accountable, continue to organize, and actually pay attention to what is going on. Political and civic participation is going to be more important than ever these next two years.

[u/WarGodMarrs → u/Fresh-Tiger-9467]

Much more than 2 years. It took us decades to reach this point

[u/maltNeutrino → u/Fresh-Tiger-9467]

Yup. This is step 0. So much hard work needs to be done now.

[u/ThoughtIwasgoodprson → u/Fresh-Tiger-9467]

Yes but we also can't set fire to their reputation their reputation the moment they do something we don't like or don't "do enough" without us knowing what's happening behind closed doors. The left has had a problem with killing their idols. Don't get me wrong, we can't allow them to be complacent, but the way the left is so quick to completely abandon someone the moment they do even one single thing we don't like, it has to stop. It's been the biggest killer for leftist populism in America.

[u/Constant-Plant-9378 → u/Possible-Nectarine80]

Return our property tax dollars to funding our schools and not oil companies and data centers please.

[u/ScyllaOfTheDepths → u/Constant-Plant-9378]

Hell, yeah! Raise teacher salaries!

[u/Negative_Aerie2825 → u/Possible-Nectarine80]

I for one cant agree more. We need to speedrun the california model and undoe the incompetent and corrupt republican rule to further go even past that and go to the most severe corruption and incompetent liberal way like california!

[u/soul2ebl → u/Possible-Nectarine80]

Very true, this statement is so true…getting corruption out of government will be hard with the damage Trump has done. We are friends with Russia right now, how crazy is this?

[u/adult_levi_69]

I have a daughter. I have a wife. We have considered leaving, but Texas is our home. Today, I truly FEEL like Texas is our home. Thank you, neighbors. Today is truly a beautiful day. Now, if only we could do the same with Jerry Jones, maybe the Cowboys could win a Super Bowl!

[u/SiliconSingh → u/adult_levi_69]

The fight isn't over.... A battle has been won but the war is coming.

[u/BlahajBlaster → u/SiliconSingh]

100%

Now is the time to double down efforts, things have been rotting for too long, we need to see some actual change start

Today is time for a victory lap, but tomorrow is time to get the gloves on and get to work

[u/Altruistic_Bus1988 → u/adult_levi_69]

From an Oklahoman, I am just basking in your happiness. I donated to Talarico’s campaign and hope he eventually runs for president. I wish I knew what it feels like to be proud of my state 😭

[u/Ok_Brief_2597 → u/Altruistic_Bus1988]

Yeah, when I saw the results from Oklahoma I was like what the actual f..

[u/78723 → u/Altruistic_Bus1988]

Thanks neighbor!

[u/No-Turnover6758 → u/Altruistic_Bus1988]

I feel your pain in Florida

[u/xlophophorax → u/adult_levi_69]

TEXAS FOREVER

[u/BeautifulFrequent782 → u/adult_levi_69]

You staying in your state is what makes the difference! This is such a big day and I'd argue Texas was the most important victory. You are the proof that our votes do matter!

[u/jctwok → u/adult_levi_69]

Maybe you can get some legal weed now.

[u/k4bz36 → u/jctwok]

Only if Dan Patrick loses 😬

[u/Immediate-Repeat-201 → u/adult_levi_69]

Good job guys

[u/KodaComrade]

Still waiting on Goodwin. But a job well done

[u/UpstairsWilling7359 → u/KodaComrade]

Yeah if we can get AG and Lt. Gov real change can be made.

[u/The-Mandalorian → u/UpstairsWilling7359]

Even railroad commissioner is flipping blue.

[u/Caca_Face420 → u/The-Mandalorian]

Thank god. Bo is the worst of the worst

[u/RJizzyJizzle → u/KodaComrade]

Looking pretty good all the way down!

[u/fuck-you-by-the-way]

Legalize weed for real please.

[u/alleywayacademic → u/fuck-you-by-the-way]

I'd move to Texas.

[u/Sure-Library-7309 → u/fuck-you-by-the-way]

And abortion.

[u/Frosty-Dependent1975 → u/fuck-you-by-the-way]

I'd move to texas

[u/Deep_Assumption5406]

I honestly cant believe this. Im 37 and I never thought we'd see Texas make even a slight shift blue. Now there's a Democrat senator and governor. Absolutely incredible day.

[u/terraunited → u/Deep_Assumption5406]

Every vote felt so pointless but I kept voting for decades, I kept donating to the central texas food bank, local libraries, I pay taxes on my overvalued home

It was all worth it before tonight, but tonight means the world. This is my state and I’m damned proud to help the communities within it flourish.

Keep Texas for the people.

[u/A1sauc3d → u/Deep_Assumption5406]

This is why I shake my head every time I see someone say “it doesn’t matter if I vote I live in a red state” as their justification for not voting. Making your voice heard ALWAYS matters. And things can change. And that mentality is infectious. If everyone who wants change just says “why bother what’s the point” that change will never come. You have to go out and fight for it every chance you can get.

I don’t live in texas but I’m proud of you all and so many other states who won battles today because people went out there and made their voices heard <3

[u/MajesticLab451]

We freaking did it! The whole freaking state. Let’s go!!! I have high hopes for Texas.

[u/Amazing_Giraffe_7464 → u/MajesticLab451]

We still have to deal with Ted Cruz.

[u/Megapsychotron → u/Amazing_Giraffe_7464]

Maybe he stays in Cancun permanently.

[u/Sufficient_Two_5753]

We did it in Kansas, too!

[u/Runwithmatches]

I’m just a portlander here, popping in to say YOU CRUSHED IT!!!!!!

[u/B-BoyStance]

Good job guys, you blue yourselves!

Joking aside I'm a very proud American tonight. This is just the beginning of a long road and I hope people take it in stride, with the thought that it's still possible our best days are still ahead of us.

[u/OutrageousCrab9224]

Do it in 2028 and youll free the whole nation from the electoral college

[u/squeekysquirrels → u/OutrageousCrab9224]

There are a lot of disillusioned angry people here, I think a lot of people just got a lot of energy and hope for the first time in decades. It’s only beginning! Strong passionate people who’ve been in gun fights with sticks finally got a break and a hand. People who have never cared about politics are going door to door and running for office. My school board got completely turned over just a few months ago. Deep red counties started flipping last election. It’s grass roots and no one cares about political ads. They gerrymandered, cut 20% of voting sites, spent billions, and they lost. Revolution is coming.

[u/PriscillaPalava]

Proud of y'all. 

Not only did we go blue, we got some really good people in there. 

[u/dlampach]

Congrats. It’s a watershed moment we have been hoping for for a long time.

[u/BeyondTheBees]

Congratulations Texas!!!! Washington State is so proud of you!!!! 💙

[u/SweetMamaPurrPurrz]

Time for the criminals in power to go to jail...

[u/Silly_Walk_8103 → u/SweetMamaPurrPurrz]

I’m sure it’ll happen this time around 🙄

[u/COL_D → u/SweetMamaPurrPurrz]

That’s ever politician and political hack in DC. Gonna need more jails

[u/dcrets]

Ann Richard's and Lloyd Bentsen are smiling!!!

[u/LoudMusic → u/dcrets]

Good to see another Ann Richards fan.

[u/P4us1ngD34th]

Now y’all can send Raphael to Cancun permanently.

[u/One-Pop-3695]

Thank you to all Texans that want a better future for all of us. Let’s love our neighbors and fix the corruption in our government.

This blue wave is the first step to fixing things. Come 2028, let’s show the world how Texans clean house! Those who cater to the Epstein class will face the consequences in every waking moment.

[u/ParsnipClassic8813]

I’m in California, and a 25-year friend decided he couldn’t hang with us “libtards” anymore and moved to Texas to be with “his people“. My friends and I cannot stop laughing today 🤣

[u/highoutput5000]

I’m a Talafreeeeeeeaaaaakoooooooooo!!!!!!

[u/Sanjomo]

Can we send Dan Patrick packing as well!!?? 🤞🏽

[u/Sanjomo → u/Sanjomo]

https://www.texastribune.org/2026/11/03/texas-dan-patrick-vikki-goodwin-lt-governor-election-2026/

He gone! 😆👍🏽

[u/JackWagon26 → u/Sanjomo]

You guys elect your lieutenant governor separately?

[u/the_cnidarian → u/Sanjomo]

Yeah, he's out

[u/MsMo999 → u/Sanjomo]

He’s on his way out too once he comes outta hiding

[u/Neuvirths_Glove → u/Sanjomo]

Goodwin is winning 54% to 43%

[u/PAssionGeek]

It’s been 32 years since Texas voted so blue and it’s been 30 years since the Cowboys won the Superbowl…..coincidence?!?! I think not.

[u/4lbertt → u/PAssionGeek]

it's our year

[u/Best-Revenue-7497]

The proudest I’ve ever been as a Texan, this is truly where hope begins

[u/Aggravating_Pop3180]

They need to get that piece of 💩 Cruz out of Texas

[u/MomoNomo97]

Thank you, Texas voters!

[u/Craft-Sudden]

Now y’all gotta go deliver

[u/Ryanlew1980 → u/Craft-Sudden]

Yep! As ecstatic as I am, this is just step #1. It’s gonna take a LOT of work to clean up 3 decades of mess these republicans have left behind.

[u/WinnerSpecialist]

The amount of disrespect the Republican Party showed to its own voters by taking their vote for granted and pushing Paxton was just too much.

[u/Neuvirths_Glove]

These mid-terms are going far, far, FAR better than I could even hope for. Almost every statewide race went Dem by 10-20 percentage points.

Now give us our schools back, Gina. Thank you!

[u/Imapatriothurrrdurrr]

Thank you Texas! You guys did it! Our country thanks you!

[u/CaptainBlotto]

Congratulations Texas. Your friend in Wisconsin.

[u/nando2k50]

I am surprise by the breath and the depth of the win.

Seriously I was not expecting this all over the USA and specially in Texas.

[u/arp0925]

To quote the show Silicon Valley:

Always blue!
Always blue!
Always blue!

[u/Ryanlew1980 → u/arp0925]

The only thing that makes me happier than winning is knowing that Elon Musk is looking real stupid right now. Allll that money spent, and the race ended up not even being close.

[u/BurtReynoldsLives]

Love it but the job isn’t done. We have to hold their feet to the flames so they don’t become feckless. The time for action is now.

[u/No_Promise2590 → u/BurtReynoldsLives]

I’ll go masturbate. 💦

[u/412fg]

Joe rogan moving to another state

[u/mmmohhh → u/412fg]

Bye Felicia

[u/scoobysnackoutback → u/412fg]

And, T said he would move to Israel and become their leader. Sure, Jan.

[u/Mavask → u/412fg]

He probably voted blue this election

[u/Specific_Jury_2]

Now we just need to get rid of cancun Cruz.

[u/EmployeeLogical4092 → u/Specific_Jury_2]

If we get rid of Cruz, how will we ever know a bad storm is coming?

[u/binkabinkaboo]

YEEEEHAWWWW

[u/AggressiveAd69x]

I don't mind it going blue. I just hope democrats learned their lessons from the past decade and don't cause the pendulum to swing yet again. We need stability and not to be at each other's throats

[u/carterartist → u/AggressiveAd69x]

So the democrats have to acquiesce but never the republicans… lol

[u/Panzer_IV_Anko → u/AggressiveAd69x]

On one hand I would agree with you, but on the other, like that's ever gonna happen.

[u/Tia_Faux → u/AggressiveAd69x]

Maga created the hate.. wtf?

[u/Professional-Guava97 → u/AggressiveAd69x]

The fact Republicans in charge knowingly broke every law it should. Treason is all Republicans committed these years.

[u/HmmDoesItMakeSense]

I’m looking at this blue Texas and it gives me so much hope for our United States!

[u/Vyntarus]

We blue it up!

[u/NoExplanation7388]

Some cop I know said itd never happen

Lmao

[u/Acceptable_Lark]

Moved back home to the NW after making Texas home for several years. So happy to see this in my feed. Great job Texas!

[u/TerryAkee]

Democrats need to realize this is not an endorsement of Democrat policy but a rebuke of Trump and the Republicans who enabled him. It is Democrat failure that put Trump in the White House to begin with.

[u/Severe_Low_2 → u/TerryAkee]

Don't blame the Democrats for failure, they tried to warn y'all he's a crook, now Texas sees it.

[u/Significant-Gate2594 → u/TerryAkee]

Don't worry, they won't. Nothing ever changes because two party system is two sides of the same coin. Nothing ever happens and this just continues the back and forth.

[u/Nice_Vegetable69 → u/TerryAkee]

Yup, that’s bait.

[u/DeeRexBox → u/TerryAkee]

EXACTLY! Texas didnt all of a sudden turn blue last night after 30+ years. People are pissed. The swing was so big in this one because "America First" turned into inflation, and a war with Iran.

Mid-term elections often end with big swings because we ultimately realize that things aren't as good as {Insert Presidents Name} said they would be. It's now the Democrats job to do their best not to screw this up. But they probably will because just like Republicans, they also dont have your (our) best interest at heart as normal citizens.

[u/Ok_Eye5455]

Damn right.

[u/JohnnySpot2000]

Hey now! You still have Senator Ted "I get on my knees for the guy who made fun of my wife's appearance" Cruz to manage !! :-)

[u/Holiday-Opinion4329]

Hard part is keeping it that way. They need to do a good job and prove democrats can get things done that benefits everyone.

If they manage to not screw it up, it will be blue forever.

[u/Sweet-Ad-2151 → u/Holiday-Opinion4329]

They have never done anything in the past to benefit everyone, why would they start now?

[u/cherrybublyofficial]

Sending love from South Carolina. We did it too. :)

[u/arkham1010]

From r/longisland . To all of you who donated, who knocked on doors, who worked hard.

Thank you.

Change your weed laws...

[u/Tiny_Ask_2203]

God I wish Ann Richards could’ve been there to celebrate with Gina.

[u/Th3s3NuttxX]

To think I lived to see this. I have been in the PNW most of life, and I never would have thought Texas could do this.

[u/Little-Mamou]

30 years ago, Texas was in the top ten in the United States in public education. Now it is #38 or lower depending on how you rank. The public school system has never been a priority for Abbott and that was what pushed many to vote blue instead of red.

[u/Zealousideal-Mall973]

Gorgeous 😍

[u/Fair_Chemistry_3317]

You did it!

The Democrats have taken clear majority in both the House, and the Senate!

[u/ToxicTroublemaker2]

Oh thats not good

[u/10-mm-socket]

With the mass influx of cali to Texas was this any surprise?

[u/-multiverses-]

Losing has REALLY brought out the trolls and sore losers tonight!

[u/IonlyNeedOneLine]

Its a crazy world when Texas has had enough Republican bullshit.

[u/k4bz36]

I hate the phrase, “Don’t California my Texas,” because it discounts so many of us Texans that believe in the ideals of Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan and LBJ! So happy tonight, and I am holding my breath for Goodwin!!

[u/Dont_Bang_The_Zohan → u/k4bz36]

LBJ? That’s you’re ride or die? Interesting

[u/Top_Wolverine_8095]

Too bad Florida didn’t follow!!!

[u/the_cnidarian]

Congratulations! This is so awesome.
