Warning Bells for Republicans In Texas

from Texas Take Hosted by Houston Chronicle

A North Texas shocker has turned Lone Star State politics on its ear. Host Jeremy Wallace and the Austin American-Statesman’s John Moritz explain the wide ramifications of Democrat Taylor Rehmet’s victory from a truly Texas perspective. President Donald Trump quickly distanced himself from the debacle. Plus, the newest member of Congress wasted no time reporting for duty after a dominating win in a Houston runoff battle, and it’s already messing with House Speaker Mike Johnson’s math. In San Antonio, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro takes us behind the scenes of his late-night drive to a detention facility to personally escort 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father to freedom in Minnesota. Finally, you’ll hear exclusive audio from U.S. Reps Greg Casar and Jasmine Crockett.
