🎥 ON THE RAILS: "They never cared about you"
Comptroller Don Huffines didn't hold back on election night.
Speaking to supporters at his watch party Tuesday night, the Republican blamed his own party's leadership as the returns turned against him.
"I blame this on Greg Abbott. I blame it on Dan Patrick," Huffines said in the video. He also blamed "the mushy middle" and said people are tired of the same Republicans in office.
Then he went further: "They never cared about you. I served with them. They laugh and make fun of you."
Democrat Sarah Eckhardt leads Huffines 51.3% to 46.2% statewide in unofficial returns, with about 93% of the expected vote counted. The Texas Tribune and The Texan report that Eckhardt has defeated him. She would be the first Democratic comptroller since 1999.
Abbott appointed Huffines comptroller this year after he beat Abbott's preferred candidate, Kelly Hancock, in the GOP primary.
All results are unofficial until canvassed.
