Abbott shrugs off tight Texas polls, targets data centers
Original: Abbott downplays tight polls in Texas Governor's race against Gina Hinojosa, takes new steps to stop data centers
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is dismissing polls showing a closer-than-expected race against Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa, while also announcing new measures aimed at blocking data center developments in the state. The moves come as the incumbent faces unexpected pressure in his reelection bid, drawing attention to both the tightening race and his policy pivot on data center expansion.
Why now: A incumbent governor downplaying unexpectedly competitive polls is politically newsworthy in Texas.
