There is potentially a latent one, one in the background that may become more in the foreground at one point.
This state, under Greg Abbott, has moved so far away from everything that matters to all of us that there is going to be a price to pay. And we`re going to see that in him being defeated in this election in November.
When we win we are going to prioritize the lives of those kids in the classrooms that the people of Uvalde -- we`re going to get justice and we`re going to get change to prevent massacres like this from happening going forward.
I'd love for the Department of Justice to come in ride to the rescue, or for the House and the Senate to pass Federal Voting rights protections to shore up the Voting Rights Act.
