Democrats on both the east and west coasts are attacking Gov. Greg Abbott this week, blasting the Texas Republican for his views on abortion, gun rights and immigration.and rejecting calls from the left to restrict gun access. Meanwhile, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams denounced the governor for busing migrants to the nation’s capital.
The national attention is not unfamiliar for Abbott, who has at times been floated as a possible presidential contender. And as Abbott runs for re-election against former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke this fall, the public scuffles with out-of-state Democratic officials are raising his profile, political experts say.
“But Abbott’s position, in the center of the GOP discussion nationally, gives him exposure and credibility. That will also help his fundraising members — not that he needs it — but it’ll give him a lot more opportunities to spread the Abbott brand.”Democrats gain steam in Texas, Florida, Georgia governor’s races despite red wave forecastsagainst the Biden administration.
, quoted Abbott on the subject: “Our creator endowed us with the right to life. And yet … children lose their right to life every year because of abortion. In Texas, we work to save those lives.” Newsom then crossed out “abortion” and replaced it with “gun violence,” and he switched out ‘Texas’ for ‘California’ and Abbott’s name for his own. Democrats have been sparring for weeks with Republicans who oppose gun safety measures despite a string of mass shootings across the United States, including the May 24 massacre at a Uvalde elementary school that left 21 dead and 17 injured.
You guys are DONE ! For every citizen of Houston that has a little bit of brain … maybe Soros will help you like he is helping the non US representative Beto! 😆 WE Houstonians are tired of the 💩 downtown and the stupid parties our “elected” officials participate !! SICK ! 😡😡
It is Governor Abbot and former U.S. Rep. Irish Bob. There fixed it for you. The Chron is not fit to line a litter box.
So the actual Governor gets just “Abbott” but the person currently not in any public office gets the name drop “former U.S. Rep”? Seems like the chronicle is rooting for a side here.
Only the would root for outside interests in a state election. Still won’t stop the eventual collapse of the “paper.” How many paid subscribers to the hard copy version of the rag now?
White coastal progressives think they know what is best for Texans
