Episode Details

A sweeping Democratic victory flipped statewide offices across Texas, ending decades of Republican control and sending the state's first Latina governor and first Democratic senator since 1988 into office. Driven by a dramatic collapse in Latino support for the administration, the results expose the difference between lasting realignment and a swift reversion to earlier voting habits. Meanwhile, sudden shifts in Washington threaten to rewrite foreign military aid and reshape congressional oversight.
