Trump Gets Disaster News in Texas Election
Summary
The episode analyzes Donald Trump’s collapsing approval ratings in Texas, particularly among Hispanic voters, which boosts Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico against Ken Paxton. Hosts discuss Paxton’s corruption, his protection of puppy-torturing labs, and the defection of a former Cornyn aide to Tallarico’s campaign. The discussion highlights how economic concerns and Trump’s policies are driving Latino men away from the GOP, potentially flipping Texas Senate and congressional races.
