Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa on Friday, November 8, announced his resignation following a devastating election cycle marked by significant losses for the party. As per reports, the longtime leader, who has held the position since 2012, cited the underperformance in key races, including a lopsided defeat in the presidential election where Donald Trump won Texas by 14 percentage points. In his resignation statement, Hinojosa emphasised the need for the party to embrace new leadership and reevaluate its strategies ahead of the next election cycle. He plans to step down in March 2025, when the party’s executive committee is set to meet. Hinojosa's resignation follows the party's failure to win any statewide offices or make significant inroads along the Texas-Mexico border, traditionally a Democratic stronghold.
