The Lone Star strategy

Nicole Narea, a politics reporter at Vox based in Texas, sheds light on the dramatic moves by state Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., as a protest against far-right Republican legislation. She discusses the escalating conflict over gun laws, abortion rights, and voting access, all pivotal in shaping Texas's political landscape. Narea also examines Governor Abbott's controversial border wall initiative, the challenges it faces, and the broader implications for the state's future elections and political identity.
