Democrats and Republicans were told for the past few years by many political operatives on both side that Texas would become a Democratic state in this election. (The terms politicos and journalists use often rather than "Democratic state" and "Republican state" are "blue state" and "red state" because on network maps during presidential elections states that are won by Democrats are colored blue and those won by Republicans are colored red.)
Predictions were in that in the 2020 presidential election Texas would flip from a 40-year Republican dominance to Democratic dominance. However, Texas voted for Trump. And it did so overwhelmingly. Texas was colored red on election maps on all the networks indicating that it went Republican
