Abbott ramps up attacks on Hinojosa as Texas race tightens
Original: Abbott ramps up attacks on Democratic challenger, Gina Hinojosa, as Texas governor’s race tightens
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has intensified his attacks on Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa as the 2026 governor's race appears to tighten. The incumbent is stepping up negative campaigning against the Austin-area state representative, a sign his campaign sees the contest as increasingly competitive. The escalation of attacks is drawing attention to what had been expected to be a comfortable re-election bid in a deeply Republican state.
Why now: Reports that a long-safe Republican incumbent is going negative suggest the race is more competitive than expected.
