Midterms 2026: Texans Are Fed Up After Years Of Greg Abbott

Don Lemon | September 27, 2026



Don Lemon sits down with Democratic nominee for Texas governor Gina Hinojosa at Courier Texas’ “On the Ballot” event in Houston.

Hinojosa makes her case to Texas voters and takes aim at Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s record, arguing that decisions made under his administration have left working families paying the price. She discusses affordability, public education, rising electricity costs, immigration enforcement and what she says she would do differently as governor.

With Election Day approaching, Hinojosa explains why she believes Texas voters are ready for a change and what’s at stake in her race against Abbott.

    I'm a born and raised Texan. I'm Independent, voted on both sides of the isle. I thought when Bush was Governor it couldn't get worst but, then came Abbott. Unless your a millionaire, they don't care about you. It's time for ABBOT, Patrick, Corrupt Paxton, Cruz (despicable) to go. I lost all respect for any Republican on how they handled the shooting of Uvalde School, Flooding at the Campsite and handling our citizen of all color. It's time to stop drinking the Orange Tang Kool-Aid and start a new flavor BLUE. It's time Gina Hinojosa, it's time for Tallarico. Let's go TX's , it's time to take our state back and make it better for everyone. 💙💙Vote

    I don’t know why people are “ tired” of Democratic politicians 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

    They can’t do any legislate without POWER .
    This ridiculous apathy is why we got 2.0 DT and Ted Cruz.

    ❗️Let’s BE CLEAR . The Texas residents have given Republicans power to do all that they have done .

    Texans NEED TO VOTE and stop all the complaining

    You would’ve thought Texans would be pissed off at that corrupt, racist, inept piece of crap taking away their rights by now.
    It wasn’t enough that he had women arrested for having an abortion with their own body. And allow pregnant women to die instead of a doctors rendering aid.
    The Three Stooges time are up.

    She didn’t answer the 1st question fully. We want clear language and solutions. WE WANT ICE OUT! She needs to understand we’re DONE with lip service. Now, hands down, she will get my vote, but we need full clarity so we can hold you and everyone else going forward accountable!!

    No Gina, this secret police does not need training and body cams.
    It needs to be abolished! And no, these are not detention centers, they are conentration camps! Wake up TX. Abbott has made a career out of public service to soley enrich himself and his corp donors, which is why we need term limits.

    HEY DON!!!….Status Coup’s Jordan Chariton breaks down the latest development in the Trump sexual assault accuser case. Trump’s DOJ may have finally handed over 37 pages of handwritten FBI notes tied to four interviews with the woman, who says Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. Independent journalist Katie Phang, who filed the suit, says DOJ attorneys told her legal team they complied with the judge’s order. Now the questions are: Did they surrender every page? Are the notes authentic and complete? And what did Trump’s DOJ fight so hard to keep hidden?
