After Midterms, One Thing Is Clear: Texas Is Still Very Red

Democrats have long set their sights on Texas as a potential state to flip blue, yet the results of the 2022 midterms prove that Texas remains solidly red. Politicians in the state had their campaigns focused on immigration, as the US border saw a record-breaking number of migrant border crossings in 2022, with the number only continuing to rise. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins the Rundown to explain what key issues motivated his state to vote strongly in favor Republican in the midterms, why the Texas border issues played a major role in voters’ decisions, and his belief that Governor Abbott’s bussing of migrants to sanctuary cities is the only real way to equally distribute the economic strain that high levels of illegal migration causes.

On Tuesday, a missile landed in Polish territory, killing two people. In an update he gave Wednesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the blast was likely the result of a Ukrainian air defense missile.

FOX News Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent Greg Palkot joins the Rundown to discuss the stakes of the war with the latest from Kyiv.
