A Blue Texas? Why This Race Is Different

This week on Antispiral, I break down the very real opportunity Texas has to elect a blue senator this November. I dive into the latest party data within the state, as well as the corruption of the scandal-infested and soon-to-be former Attorney Weenie Hut General of Texas, Ken Paxton. Plus, quick hits on the gerrymandering war, the rise of a growing group of "Rogue Republicans" willing to challenge Trump, and what it all means heading into the midterms.  As always, we’re calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.
