Checks and Balance from The Economist

Checks and Balance: Texas carry’em

Listen Later

Texas legislators only meet every other year. Their most conservative session in a generation just relaxed gun laws and restricted abortion. Might Republican strength in Texas ease the hangover from the Trump presidency? 


Mark Jones of Rice University, Harris County judge Lina Hidalgo, and James Astill, The Economist’s Washington bureau chief, contribute.


John Prideaux hosts with Alexandra Suich Bass and Jon Fasman.
