Texas Democrat Party Chair to Resign After Major Electoral Losses

Texas Scorecard by Brandon Waltens November 8, 2024

Democrats have failed to secure a statewide victory in 30 years.

The Texas Democrat Party Chairman, Gilberto Hinojosa, has announced his resignation after a significant statewide electoral defeat in Tuesday’s election.

Hinojosa, a South Texas lawyer first elected to the role in 2012, has overseen a period marked by Democrat losses, particularly among Hispanic voters and in border counties.

Despite ongoing claims that Texas was on the verge of “turning blue” for over a decade, Democrats have failed to secure a statewide victory in 30 years. In Tuesday’s election, President Donald Trump won Texas by more than 13 points, including victories in 12 of the state’s 14 border counties. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz also defeated his Democrat opponent by approximately nine points.

Speaking to KUT News on Wednesday, Hinojosa attributed the party’s loss partially to its focus on radical gender ideology. For example, during the party’s convention in June, delegates were addressed by a female drag queen (a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman). When asked about “transgender rights,” he responded, “I think what the Democratic Party has to realize is that there’s some things that we can support and some things that we cannot. And when we’re pressed upon to take votes of these kinds, we need to be mindful of the long-term consequences of these choices.”

Really? Really? You couldn't have figured out that supporting "transgender rights" was nonsense? If you Dems had taken a principled stand from the beginning, the whole trans argument could have been squelched. One can only wonder how many young people have been mutilated so that leftists could scoop up an additional special-interest voting bloc. Thank God that the American people are still able to draw a line at some point. Think about this next time y'all try to sell Americans another ridiculous, conjured-up narrative.

Hinojosa wasn't forced out because they lost. He was forced out because he told the truth about WHY they lost!

And that's why they'll remain a fractured party until somebody puts on their big boy/girl pants and leads them out of the mire. I don't know when or even if that will happen. Maybe some of their corrupt leaders have to die off. But they're in complete disarray right now, and there's something kinda delicious about that.
