Texas Gov. Greg Abbott defeated Republican primary challengers, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the Lone Star State’s Tuesday primary elections.
Abbott faced seven primary challengers in his race for reelection: businessman Don Huffines, ex-state GOP Chairman Allen West, conservative media personality Chad Prather, philanthropist and baroness Kandy Kaye Horn, attorney Paul Belew, businessman Danny Harrison, and Rick Perry — not the same Rick Perry who was previously the governor of Texas, but rather a computer engineer.
