Episode Details

Gina Hinojosa is declaring her Texas gubernatorial race against Greg Abbott as the most consequential in the nation, tying it to voting rights and gerrymandering fears as the state grows and gains congressional seats. She vows to veto any partisan redistricting if elected, arguing that predetermined elections harm everyone—and the governor’s office is the last line of defense against one party seizing permanent power. Despite trailing Abbott in polls and facing a massive fundraising gap, Hinojosa remains defiant, pointing to past underdog victories and highlighting Abbott’s distraction with data center expansion. This election could reshape Texas’ political future, with Hinojosa framing it as a fight for democracy amid deepening partisan divides.
