At the Texas GOP convention in Houston, Governor Greg Abbott pledged to defeat Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, framing them as proponents of 'Bernie Sanders socialism.' He proposed closing primaries to only registered Republicans and banning local governments from hiring lobbyists. Abbott also emphasized his plans to regulate data centers, reduce property taxes, and tighten immigration policies. He announced a $25 million investment to turn Harris County red again and called for a freeze on H-1B visa applications across all state and local governments. His remarks drew both cheers and criticism, particularly from his Democratic opponent, Rep. Gina Hinojosa.
