Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will face Democrat Beto O’Rourke this fall in his bid for a third term in November after the two won their respective primaries, NBC News projects.
Abbott, a Republican, faced several challengers on his right but was able to easily secure the nomination, thanks in part to the support of former President Donald Trump. O’Rourke, a former presidential candidate who lost a close Senate race in 2018, easily won his primary.
