What’s Ahead for the Texas GOP? Plus, AISD in Blue Texas and a Chicken Wing Fest Fail
What can Texas Republicans learn from their widespread losses in the Nov. 3 election? That’s the question that host Miles Bloxson poses to political strategist Brendan Steinhauser and KUT Texas Capitol Reporter Blaise Gainey. Texas Monthly Senior Writer Michael Hardy also joins Miles and Blaise to talk about whether Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa can prevent a state takeover of the Austin Independent School District. Then, Miles and Blaise dig into the fallout from this past weekend’s Austin Chicken Wing Festival, which one commenter dubbed Fyre Fest for wings.
