Riding political wins, a once-restrained Gov. Greg Abbott is increasingly steamrolling foes
The third-term governor appears determined to win any battle — even if it means scorched-earth primary crusades or trying to boot duly elected legislators from office.
Polling conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, which has worked for President Donald Trump, showed that Abbott saw a 5-point bump in approval after he opted to veto Senate Bill 3—the original legislation to prohibit THC in Texas—while Patrick's ratings dropped among voters who lean heavily Republican.
Critics say the governor is using relief dollars as leverage and political cover to push through President Trump's redistricting plan.
Texas has reached record employment levels with Governor Greg Abbott highlighting sustained job growth and the state's robust economy due to a favorable business environment and workforce productivity.
The level of disrespect displayed by Gov. Greg Abbott toward legislators who disagree with him validates that he’s a poor-quality statesman who has performed his duties dishonorably. Ladies and gentlemen of Texas, it is time to contact your legislators to enact a recall.
