Episode Details

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is targeting Democratic State Representative James Talarico, not his actual opponent Gina Hinojosa, in the Senate race. Abbott, with a massive war chest, is attacking Talaricos progressive views and past comments on issues like climate and culture wars. This strategy aligns with the Republican playbook to slow Democratic gains and protect down-ballot candidates. The Senate race heats up with the Republican runoff between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton, whoever wins faces Talarico, who has strong name recognition and funds. Abbotts team plans an even bigger push to turn out voters, aiming to make it a red banner year.
