At the Texas Republican Convention in Houston, Governor Greg Abbott outlined his strategy for the upcoming midterm elections, vowing to defeat Democrats by linking them to socialism. He proposed closing primaries to only registered Republicans and banning local governments from hiring lobbyists. Abbott emphasized the need for stricter immigration policies, including extending a freeze on H-1B visa applications to all state and local governments. He also called for legislation against Sharia law. His opponent, Rep. Gina Hinojosa, criticized his speech for lacking focus on pressing issues like healthcare and utility costs, while some GOP leaders praised his proposals.
