India Today · politics

Democrat Jon Rosenthal has won the Texas Railroad Commissioner election after Republican candidate Bo French conceded defeat. French faced significant criticism for social media posts described as racist, which targeted South Asian graduates and suggested foreigners were displacing Americans. His concession marks an upset, ending decades of Republican control over the commission that oversees the state's vital oil and gas industry. The final results are still pending announcement, but French's withdrawal clears the path for Rosenthal's victory.
