Texas 33rd District candidate Zeeshan Hafeez joins Mike Winson on Breaking the Meta to discuss immigration reform, ICE, progressive politics in Texas, Gaza, campaign finance, and the future of the Democratic Party. In this in-depth interview, we break down Texas gerrymandering, low voter turnout, affordability, Social Security, minimum wage, foreign policy, and what accountability in Congress should really look like.

Zeeshan shares why he entered politics after 9/11, how October 7th reshaped his campaign, and why he believes Texas is not a red state but a low-turnout state. We also discuss abolishing ICE, impeachment efforts, corporate PAC money, Citizens United, and whether bold progressive policies can win in districts traditionally labeled “red.”

If you're following the 2026 midterm elections, Texas congressional races, progressive challengers, or debates around immigration and U.S. foreign policy, this conversation gives you a detailed look at one of the most talked-about primaries in the country.
