Analysts gave little hope of Texas turning blue in the presidential race on Election Night, and they were right.

According to unofficial vote totals, Trump earned 56.3% of the vote in Texas. His opponent, Kamala Harris, won 42.4%.

Harris won just 12 of Texas’ 254 counties, including Harris, Dallas, Travis and Bexar counties.

Trump flipped many of south Texas counties that he lost in his 2020 race against Joe Biden.

AP estimates show Trump won 57.7% of Starr County in South Texas, along the border.
