The state solidified its Republican identity in the Reagan Era and has not voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since fellow Southerner Jimmy Carter carried it in 1976. Following this election and the loss of the Republican Party’s former hold on the vast suburbs of Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, and Houston, it would become a Republican-leaning swing state, voting for Donald Trump by only 8. 99% in 2016 and 5. 58% in 2020.
