Party Politics, Texas Edition Ep. 19: The Wager

On this episode of Party Politics: Texas Edition, co-hosts Jay Aiyer and Brandon Rottinghaus break down these tumultuous topics in Texas political news:

  • The passing of Gov. Mark White
  • Texas Education Agency may take over ISDs across the state for low performance
  • Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: Cities run by democrats are the problem!
  • No democrats running for governor?

Then the profs dig deep into – rhymes with “merry mecial mession” – this very special session. How many of  Gov. Abbott’s priority bills will get passed? Care to wager? By the way, don’t forget to check out our national episodes of Party Politics, too.

Party Politics is produced by Dacia Clay, Edel Howlin and Laura Lucas. Our audio engineer is Todd Hulslander.
