Nov 8, 2024, 04:29 PM

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa announced his resignation on Friday following a series of significant election losses for his party. Hinojosa, who has led the party for over a decade, cited the party's underperformance as a reason for his decision. The resignation comes after the party suffered blowout losses atop the ticket and vastly underperformed expectations in the recent election cycle. Notably, Republicans Donald Trump and Ted Cruz won by wide margins. Hinojosa will officially step down after the party's spring meeting in March.
