Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will face Democratic former Congressman Beto O’Rourke in the November general election for governor after the pair won their respective primaries.
Abbott, who received endorsement from former President Donald Trump and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, easily won his party’s nomination for governor, as did O'Rourke, the state’s most prominent Democrat, who is seeking to become the first Democratic governor of Texas in nearly three decades.
