| Gov. Greg Abbott warns Democrat victory in Texas could spell disaster for Republicans' White House hopes… as James Talarico pulls ahead of Ken Paxton in polls |
| 2026-10-24 |
| [MAIL] Texas governor Greg Abbott has issued a warning for Republicans that the outcome of the Lone Star state's heated Senate race could lead to a disaster in 2028. Speaking to conservative radio host Sean Hannity earlier this week, Abbott said: 'If we lose Texas, there's no chance ever for the future of the United States.' Recent polling has shown Democratic hopeful running neck-and-neck with, and at times pulling ahead of, Trump-backed Republican Ken Paxton. A Texas Public Opinion Research poll conducted last week put Talarico four points ahead, at 51 percent to Paxton’s 47 percent. 'We've got to realize what's at stake here,' Abbott added. 'And if anybody stays home and doesn't go vote, it's going to put Texas at risk. It's going to put the United States at risk.' The governor and Hannity agreed that if Texas were to flip blue, Republicans would face near-impossible odds of winning the White House ticket in 2028. 'If Texas ever goes blue, they know they will have a stranglehold on the Electoral College and presidential elections,' Hannity explained. As Talarico looks increasingly likely to become the first Democrat to win a statewide race in deep-red Texas in 32 years, Paxton's bid for federal office has been riddled with scandals. Texas governor Greg Abbott has warned that a 'blue wave' midterms victory for the Democrats could lead to a disaster for Republicans in the 2028 presidential election. |
