Inside Political Science #030 – Uncertainty in Texas
Texas Republicans and Democrats are at odds over redistricting – what does this mean for the future? There’s a lot going on in Texas and across the country. As President Trump embarks on his seventh month in office, Kirby and Todd say he embraces uncertainty, including asking Texas to find more Republican-leaning Congressional districts. Will the evasive strategies of the Texas Democratic Party stop the redistricting push? Kirby and Todd talk about the risks that come with gerrymandering, and why both sides are guilty depending on who’s in power. Later, they dive into party factions and the economy, arguing that politicians tend to overpromise and underperform. The battle for Texas’ Senate seat heats up, as our hosts discuss John Cornyn and Ken Paxton’s attack strategies. Finally, how will tariffs affect the next election cycle?
