During his speech before Latino voters in McAllen, Gov. Abbott told supporters, 'I am running for re-election to keep Texas on the right course.”
Governor Greg Abbott launched a 60-campaign event blitz Saturday, Jan. 8 in his bid to win a third term.
Joanne Green, a Political Science Professor at TCU, said despite criticism from some grassroots conservatives about Abbott’s early response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Abbott shored up his conservative policies. “The last year was a very smart year for him shoring up his conservative base by shifting his policy focuses more to the right, particularly his movement on guns, his movement on reproductive issues, particularly the abortion law.
Green said “You want more people to vote in the primary for you, not in a divisive primary. Ideally, you want to have a unified primary and hopefully have as little division as possible because primary voters are more likely to vote again in the general election and you need high turnout in a general election.”A Quinnipiac University poll last month showed O’Rourke trailing Abbott by 15 percentage points, 52 to 37 percent.
