Democrats won control of Texas on Tuesday, ending 30 years of Republican dominance in the country's second most-populous state. The sweep marks a major political realignment in a state that had been a Republican stronghold for three decades. Control of Texas carries outsized weight given its population size and its large share of U.S. electoral votes and congressional seats. The outcome is likely to reshape both state policy and national political calculations ahead of future elections. What to watch next: how the new Democratic leadership governs and whether the party can hold the state in upcoming cycles.
