Democrats have not won a statewide election in Texas since 1994.
From 2002 to 2020, predictions that Texas would “turn blue” and elect a Democrat statewide in either the presidential, gubernatorial, or U.S. Senate race were made by authors John Judis and Ruy Teixeira in their book The Emerging Democratic Majority, as well as by former Vermont governor and Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, Texas Democratic Party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, and Texas Representative Joaquin Castro, along with many journalists. That has not come to pass.
