AUSTIN, Texas — Gina Hinojosa A stunning victory has put Texas at the epicenter of a political earthquake – and the aftershocks could shake Andy Beshear’s way to the White House.
For months, Hinojosa’s increasingly frustrated allies publicly and privately pressured the Democratic Governors Association, chaired by Beshear, to help him cross the finish line, while many national Democrats and donors stayed on the sidelines. Tuesday, Hinojosa dominated the race for Texas governor’s mansion, riding a blue wave that propelled Democrats to power across the country, including flipping six governorships in states won by the president. Donald Trump.
Latino operatives who spoke with POLITICO feel vindicated — and are turning their knives on Beshear ahead of a possible 2028 presidential bid.
“His presidential campaign is over,” said Sergio Gonzaleza Democratic operative working on programs to turn out Latino voters in the midterms.
