Abbott *should* be safely reelected given Texas’ awesome job gains and his stalwart resistance to the Faucists’ lockdowns, muzzle mandates, vaccine mandates, etc. West might do a “practice run” for the 2026 Texas primaries.
I will cast my vote for Abbott. West is all for show, not much different than Beto. While the rest of the country complains about suffering under covid restrictions, people in Texas have been living a normal life. Our kids were in school, we didn’t suffer under mask mandates. Last night I was in Kroger and the loudspeaker was blasting that masks had to worn in the store. Everyone ignored it. Only about 10% of the people wore masks and they were probably California transplants. Abbott is right in step with Desantis only reason Desantis is more visible is because he might be presidential contender in ‘24.
