Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's political star is quickly rising, thanks to an aggressive focus on immigration that has led the Lone Star leader to bus thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities and order the installation of 100 miles of razor wire along the Rio Grande.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott 's political star is quickly rising, thanks to an aggressive focus on immigration that has led the Lone Star leader to bus thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities and order the installation of 100 miles of razor wire along the Rio Grande.
"He's been wildly successful," political consultant Vinny Minchillo, who worked on the presidential campaigns of Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told The Dallas Morning News. "Right now if you ask people to name two governors of states, it would be Gavin Newsom and Greg Abbott." Across the aisle, Democrats describe Abbott as "selfish and diabolical," and said he manipulates people and resources to promote his position on border security.
However, Larry Sabato, founder and director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, stressed popularity within political circles does not always segue into popularity with the American people. "His focus is on Texas and running for reelection in ‘26," Dave Carney, Abbott's chief political strategist, told the Morning News. "He's always flattered to have his name discussed, I'm sure."
