Donald Trump says Abbott “it wasn’t pretty!” after Texas loss
“If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty!”
Reported November 4, 2026 by aol.com. Checked word for word against that report.
After the Nov. 3 midterm elections, Democrats regained majorities in the House and Senate and gained Senate seats in Texas, Kansas and South Carolina, according to the report. Donald Trump, who had campaigned in more than 30 places, followed the returns from the White House and pointed to his absence from the ballot while congratulating Democrats. In Texas, three-term Republican Gov. Greg Abbott lost to Democrat Gina Hinojosa; Abbott had skipped an October Trump campaign stop in San Antonio. In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed Abbott’s defeat on a recent change in the governor’s politics and criticized him as insufficiently Republican. The comment was part of Trump’s public response to the GOP’s midterm losses.
