Democrats won governorship races in Texas and other states led by Republicans, giving the party a majority of the nation's governorships for the first time in two decades, PBS NewsHour reported, citing Marc Levy of The Associated Press.
Politico reported that Democrats had taken back Texas, which it described as the country's second most-populous state, after Republicans ran it for 30 years. The report, by Samuel Benson and Shelby Webb, carried a headline describing Democrats as sweeping the state.
According to PBS NewsHour, the wins were allowing Democrats to put up a "stronger defense against Trump's second-term agenda." Its headline described the results as a rebuke to Republicans.
The two accounts differ in scope. Politico's coverage centers on Texas, while the PBS NewsHour report covers Texas and other Republican-controlled states.
Neither the Politico summary nor the PBS NewsHour summary used for this story gives vote totals, margins or the names of the winning candidates.
Taken together, Politico and PBS NewsHour agree that Democrats won in Texas and that the wins gave the party a majority of governorships.
