REVOLT: Texas’s Gov. Greg Abbott Fights Biden Agenda

In what Politico calls a “revolt against the new administration,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott has refused to accept the Biden administration’s radical left-wing agenda. Politico reports:

In the span of a week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed bills restricting the teaching of critical race theory and allowing Texans to carry handguns without a license. He’s preparing to order state lawmakers back into a special session to pass legislation restricting voting access, a GOP priority. And in the most pugilistic affront to President Joe Biden’s White House yet, he announced Texas will build its own border wall.

Less than six months into Biden’s presidency, Texas conservatives are in revolt against the new administration. And Abbott, the often overshadowed governor of the nation’s biggest red state, is emerging as an unlikely leader of the Biden resistance.

“We are the tip of the spear, we are on the front of the battle lines, no question,” said James Dickey, the former chair of the Texas Republican Party. “With the federal government entirely abdicating their responsibility, that leaves us on the border needing to take up the fight, and Governor Abbott is clearly doing that.”

In part, raising the Texas flag is a return to form for Abbott, who made a political career out of suing the Obama administration. As state attorney general, his posture toward Washington was so hostile that he said of his job in 2013, “I go into the office in the morning. I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.”

Abbott and other governors like Ron DeSantis of Florida and Kristi Noem of South Dakota are leading the fight against the radical overreach of the Biden administration.

Texas has been gaining new residents as they flee California, and Abbott recently signed into law some strong protections for Texans’ Second Amendment rights.

States like Texas, Florida, and South Dakota lie within America’s growth corridors, where retirees can live in liberty, and businesses can pursue growth with fewer obstacles set in front of them by blue state governors gone wild.

Action Line: If your governor isn’t fighting for you, it may be time to look for a better America.
