Democratic hopes to turn Texas blue appear to grow ever more dim.
The big picture: Our red state grew even redder this election with a more decisive win for President-elect Trump than in 2020.
- North Texas counties that seemed on the verge of turning blue then are now decisively red. Trump won every county in the metro except Dallas County.
Zoom in: Vice President Harris tallied 100,000 fewer votes in Dallas County than President Biden received in 2020.
- She won 60% of Dallas County votes this election compared to Biden's nearly 65% in 2020.
- Meanwhile, Senate hopeful Colin Allred captured nearly 20,000 more votes than Harris in the county.
The intrigue: Trump lost Tarrant County in 2020 but won it back this week.
- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, however, lost the historically Republican county. Allred barely edged out Cruz by about 1,200 votes.
