After Democrat Gina Hinojosa beat Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in the Texas governor’s race, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Abbott’s recent political approach was to blame for the defeat and described him as insufficiently Republican. Trump’s post appeared Tuesday night, soon after Abbott acknowledged the outcome. The Associated Press reported Hinojosa’s victory, saying it stopped Abbott’s attempt to win a fourth term and would make her the first Democratic Texas governor since 1995. CBS Austin said it had contacted Abbott’s office for a response.
