Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is caught in an increasingly nasty feud with fellow Republicans. So how better to flex political muscle than packing migrants off to California, that most hated of liberal quarters.
The migrant-dumping stunt in Sacramento is just the latest sign of the Florida governor’s win-at-any-cost presidential strategy. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is happy to engage.—The lieutenant governor is elected separately from the governor, not as his or her running mate.
Patrick and Abbott — fellow Republicans — differ in temperament, Patrick being a former talk radio host and Abbott having served on the state Supreme Court. Despite that, the governor and lieutenant governor worked together and got along reasonably well until the most recent legislative session, when a fight broke out over how best to cut the state’s soaring property taxes.
It’s been quite the spectacle, say longtime Texas political observers, who have never seen anything quite like it.
