In part two of our State House recap and forecast series, we unravel the intricate web of events that unfolded during the 2023 legislative session and its aftermath, setting the stage for the "Election Civil War" of 2024.

Join as host Frank Santos navigates the complex landscape of Texas politics, shedding light on the power struggles that emerged among the state's top Republican leaders—Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Governor Greg Abbott, and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Their alliances and conflicts during the legislative session and impeachment trial of Paxton have created a seismic shift within the Republican Party.

The battle over property tax relief serves as the flashpoint, revealing a deep divide between the House and Senate versions of the priority Republican agenda. Frank explores how this discord led to not one, but four special sessions, instigated by Governor Abbott, as he attempted to corral his fellow Republicans into unity.

Get ready for a front-row seat as State House digs into the minds of those fighting tooth and nail for their political futures.
