Democrats in Texas took control of the state House after wins for governor and U.S. Senate in Tuesday's elections, according to an Associated Press report. The AP described the wins for governor and U.S. Senate as historic.
The Texas results were part of wider gains for Democrats nationwide that shifted the balance of power in several battleground and Republican-leaning states, the report said.
The report said it would be the first time Democrats control the Texas House in a period it did not fully state in the text available.
