The new year brings a fresh theme for the TribCast, alongside a host of political challenges for Texas lawmakers. In the latest episode, Texas Tribune political reporters Kayla Guo and Alejandro Serrano join hosts Matthew and Eleanor to discuss the landscape of Texas politics as they look ahead to 2026.
Key questions arise regarding the future of the state’s political hierarchy. Will Governor Greg Abbott leverage his influence and resources to challenge incumbents? Are there opportunities for Democrats to secure a statewide position? Following the redistricting reshuffle of the previous year, who will emerge victorious? Additionally, how will the Latino community, which experienced a significant shift to the right in the 2024 elections, cast their votes in upcoming contests?
