Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is inspiring plenty of bills in the Texas Legislature this session. | via texasstandard
Who is the most powerful Republican in Texas? Texas Monthly Senior Editor Michael Hardy’s answer might surprise you.the influence that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has on the Texas GOP, especially in the wake of his 19-point win to a second term in November.
The Texas GOP recently did a poll of Republican voters, and in Texas, DeSantis is clearly the leader among 2024 presidential candidates. He’s ahead of Trump. And nobody else gets out of single digits. So DeSantis is really the most popular Republican in the state among base voters. I don’t think DeSantis is worried about Abbott at all. Abbott doesn’t even make the list in a lot of these polls; pollsters have stopped asking about him. He’s completely fallen out of the picture for 2024.
I’m wondering what all this adds up to for everyday Texans right now. I mean, we’re heading into a legislative session that begins on the 10th – do you think that Republican lawmakers in Texas are going to be trying to tailor their legislation based on “What would Ron DeSantis do?”
