It was a long shot. She was underfunded and underestimated. Today on the Interview - @GinaHinojosaTX and what her surge against Gov. Gregg Abbott says about the midterms, and the issues that are motivating voters. nytimes.com/2026/10/24/magaz…

When Gina Hinojosa first launched her bid against Greg Abbott, her polling had her 9 points down — and she felt good about it.
Now, she's daring Democrats to wonder if she could actually topple this mainstay of the Texas GOP establishment.

In San Antonio, @GinaHinojosaTX challenges @GregAbbott_TX to a debate in front of the governor’s mansion on Oct. 15.
“If you are not man enough to debate me, you do not deserve to be governor,” Hinojosa says.
Abbott’s campaign hasn’t responded when asked if he’ll debate.

Karl: "You said recently that the price of gas in Texas would be below $2 by the end of the summer. Are voters gonna punish you and other Republicans if it's not? Because right now the average is $3.60."
Gov. Greg Abbott: "The answer to that's far more complex than just one price point."
Karl: "But you said it was gonna be below $2."

While the Senate polling of late has pretty consistently shown a a small lead for Talarico, this is the 3rd poll I’m aware of this week (one not public) that shows significant tightening in the gubernatorial race. #txgov
Hinojosa has embraced populist policy in her challenge to Abbott, whom she has accused of working on behalf of GOP megadonors at the expense of everyday Texans.

After a super chill day of campaigning with... OBAMA, Dem candidate for governor @GinaHinojosaTX joined @PsakiBriefing:
Republicans have nothing to offer. Greg Abbott has been in office since I graduated from high school. TX is a world economic power house and we deserve better.
