President Trump has won the state of Texas, home to the country’s second largest economy and population.
President Trump has won the state of Texas, home to the country's second-largest economy and population, according to Fox News.
The AP reported that Trump had more than 52 percent of the vote, and Biden nearly 47 percent.
