À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Thanks in part to lackluster data from the Texas Secretary of State, it's still hard to interpret which party will benefit from record-breaking midterm election turnout over the first days of early voting. A new poll of South Texas voters confirms deep rejection of Donald Trump's policies and solid numbers for congressional candidate Bobby Pulido. State officials have continued administrative processes for new data centers despite Governor Abbott's election-mode pledge to pause permitting. And surprise - it turns out Bo French will not have the guts to step up for what would have been the only statewide debate tomorrow against Jon Rosenthal.
