‘Inside Texas Politics’: Jasmine Crockett, Paul Bettencourt, John Cornyn, and the Decision that Triggered a Political Tsunami

In the December 14 episode, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett discusses the internal polling that helped her decide to enter the race for U.S. Senate, reshaping the 2026 Democratic primary. State Senator Paul Bettencourt explains why a plan to lower the age at which Texans could enjoy senior property tax exemptions from 65 to 55 is “transformative.” And U.S. Senator John Cornyn on why he’s asking for stringent vetting procedures for all Afghan nationals who’ve entered the country since 2021.
